Ukraine to control children adopted by US citizens

Ukraine and the USA are to sign bilateral agreement on control over children adopted by UA citizens by the Ukrainian party.

Yuri Pavlenko Minister for Family and Sport informed journalists that the issue was agreed during his meeting with US Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Maura Harty.

As the Minister said, foreigners do not send reports about adopted children, especially from the USA. Pavlenko noted that it is connected with legislation of both countries – US legal texts do not oblige the citizens to send such reports. “Till we have a report about every child adopted by US citizens, we won’t be able to accept documents for adoption of Ukrainian children by citizens of this country,” said Pavlenko adding that the ban has come into force since September, 2005.
