Urging the Government of Ukraine to review and modify its decision to suspend adoption by foreign nationals with a view to resuming such adoptions, particularly in cases where the mutual concerns of the Governments of Ukraine and of the United States can be substantially addressed.
Summary
House Resolution 915 requests that the Ukrainian government resume the process of allowing U.S. citizens to adopt Ukrainian children, which was suspended following the Russian invasion in early 2022. The resolution specifically prioritizes families who had already received official approval before the suspension and those who previously hosted Ukrainian children through exchange programs. If acted upon by Ukraine, this measure would allow hundreds of American families to finalize pending adoptions and provide permanent homes for children currently displaced by the conflict.
