The ripple effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have been devastating for families of all kinds, including those who have seen their prospective adoptions put on hold.
Jessica Pflumm of Olathe, Kansas, poses with Maks, a Ukrainian boy she and her family are working to adopt. The Pflumms are among dozens of families whose adoptions are on hold because of the war in Ukraine. Russias invasion of Ukraine has halted the process of international adoption. Ukraine has stopped all international adoptions as the country copes with the turmoil unleashed on its courts by the war.
That is because adoptions can only proceed with children who are clearly orphaned or for whom parental rights have been terminated, the group said, and establishing identities and family statuses is impossible for many Ukrainian children right now. “Every day is hard. We pray a lot and we try to think of what he is experiencing versus what we’re experiencing,” Pflumm said. “For us, it’s hard, but nothing compared to what he’s experiencing.”War, natural disasters and other destabilizing events have a long history of upending intercountry adoptions. And Ukraine is a big piece of the international adoption puzzle, Hanlon said.
