Moratorium Vote

Found out today that the Ukraine parliament passed a moratorium on International adoptions.  Apparently this still has to go through 2 "readings" and then be signed by the President.  Once signed it would immediately be law.  The only exception to the law is if there is a bi-lateral agreement with the foreign country.  Last I read only Israel has one with Ukraine.

I am told not to worry and this happens all the time and this could be like 6mo before it happens.

Anyways, be praying that God will intervene and that whatever is done does not suspend adoptions.  The actual parliament webpage on the bill.

  1. Sent off a message to our congressman about the situation. Hoping they can be proactive in working on an agreement with Ukraine so as not to allow adoptions to be suspended.

    I encourage others to do the same.
