War in Ukraine
PLEASE READ MOST ASKED QUESTIONS:
Can I adopt/host a baby? Can I adopt /host children? NO - As much as the children are suffering at this time, unfortunately all adoptions have halted in the country. This means no adoptions are being finalized, continued or even started. Furthermore, UOO is not an adoption agency, so adoption questions would be better answered by adoption agencies throughout the United States. And as for hosting/fostering or any interim care, at the moment, this also is not possible.
Can I host a refugee family? This is our second most asked question. Even though politicians are saying "we welcome Ukraine refugees" there are no legal systems in place to do this. We will continue our research and stay as best up to date as we can. We appreciate everyones heart to help children and families at this time, but please understand as of now we can not bring any Ukrainian to the USA.
