The State Department issued an adoption alert yesterday for the Ukraine.
The Eastern European nation is expected to pass a moratorium on inter-country adoptions, possibly as early as December 16, that would include a suspension of all adoptions in process. The moratorium is part of a bill designed to prepare the Ukraine to move to a system of bilateral agreements for adoption or to join the Hague Convention on Inter-country Adoption.
