Here we go again.
Ukraine’s Parliament is once again scheduled to vote on a possible moratorium on international adoptions. The vote is schedule for September 21st.
There are different speculations on exactly what this means, but it basically sounds like if this bill passes, it would place a hold on the SDA's acceptance of dossiers.
It's possible that 1) they want to restructure the program so they can better monitor the well-being of children that are adopted; 2) they want to enter the Hague convention; 3) they want to re-vamp the SDA.
Whatever the reason, I just wonder why they can't they work on it without halting everything. This same vote came up just before we travelled this summer. Thankfully, it fell short of the votes needed to pass.
Please pray that once again this bill doesn't get enough momentum to pass.
And pray for families who are in process right now. Some are already in country, others are waiting to travel, and still others are scheduled to submit their dossiers very soon. Pray that God will give them peace as they wait for answers.

Oh my heart just cant take this... Pray pray pray!!!
Oh this isn't cool :( We'll be praying!
WOW, thought this was a done deal and would not be revisted again for another year. We were in Ukraine during the June 1st voting. Despite a positive outcome these were very stressful times. There are still so many children waiting for families. We will never forget the faces of all those left behind. Praying for a favorable ruling. Paula
