The SDAPRC, a part of the Ministry of Family, Youth and Sports, is the only legal Ukrainian authority for adoptions. It maintains the database of adoptable children available for both domestic and international adoptions. The SDAPRC is involved in the international adoption process from the moment prospective parents apply for registration until an adoption hearing is held in court. The State Department for Adoptions and Protection of Rights of the Child has a policy of direct contact with prospective adopting parents. Translators or interpreters are available on the staff of the SDAPRC.
