If your just stumbling around here and are not in the know of the adoption world this will be news, if your on message boards and such it's dated news, however bad news looms on the horizon of Ukrainian Adoption.
On June 2, the Ukrainian RADA (parliment) is going to vote on a bill to outlaw all international adoption. There is speculation that they are trying to move to foster care system, however many children - older and special needs - will still end up in instutions and orphanages for life as it is not Ukrainian culture to adopt within these two groups - where many of the foreigners do.
While I totally understand the need and want to keep their children in Ukraine there are many factors that will adversely effect children that are in the system now and will halt adoptions that are in progress right now depriving many children of the only chance they will ever have at being adopted.
Needless to say your prayers are needed and if there's the off chance you have political connections in Ukraine call in your favors.
