International Adoption

Ukraine Program

The Ukraine program has gone through a tremendous transformation over the past few years, due to the reorganization of international adoption services within the foreign country.  The good news for SWAF is that we continue to have the same Ukraine Coordinator, Serge Zevlever, who has assisted hundreds of SWAF families since 1997.  Serge is very knowledgeable of the country, the laws, and international adoption processes.  When a family chooses to adopt from Ukraine, domestic SWAF staff assists you through your home study process.  Then, families work directly with Serge and his foreign country staff in dossier preparation and travel.  When in Ukraine, families have 24/7 availability to contact Serge and/or his staff.

Another benefit of the Ukraine program is for families who have one parent unable to travel or adopt due to medical reasons.  These families are allowed to have one parent adopt a child in the Ukraine with the intention of the other parent adopting the child when back in the United States.

Sibling groups are especially available through Ukrainian Adoption.  In addition, there is currently a resurgence of children available for international adoption through Ukraine.  For this reason, SWAF is offering a reduction in adoption fees in order to save more orphan children.  This reduction of fees is available for the adoption of just one child, and siblings are available for a minimal additional cost.  Please call SWAF for more details.
