Children of the War: May They Be Adopted?

Today, June 1st the entire World celebrates the Global Day of Parents and the International Child Protection Day. In the name of this date, we have to touch one really sensitive topic – adoption of kids who suffered from the war in Ukraine. The lawyers of Heritage Surrogacy Agency, who are skilled in cross-border affairs, face this question really often and ready to share their international experience and research. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is the biggest war in Europe since the WW2. More than 250 children were killed at now and about 500 children injured with Russian missiles and arms – these are only official numbers. Many children lost their parents - became orphans. Some large-hearted Intended Parents ask the lawyers if they can adopt anyone from Ukrainian orphans who suffered from the war. What Does the Law on Adoption State? During hostilities, the adoption procedure doesn’t work – neither in Ukraine, nor in most other countries. This is sad, but there are some good reasons for this. First of all, it is impossible to collect the whole package of documents: the registers, courts and other authorities simply may not work. Even if the child lived in the orphanage, it doesn’t mean that he/she doesn’t have the parents. There may be multiple reasons to be in the children’s house: the parents might be sick, imprisoned, unknown, disappeared, or the child may be placed to the orphanage without parental rights deprivation. Some children may have disabilities, so that parents can’t take appropriate care of them and place them to the orphanage or hospital.
