Is it possible to adopt under martial law?

Conditions for Adoption:

1. Adoption of a child during martial law is significantly more complicated but theoretically possible if:

• The child is in a region where active hostilities are not taking place.
• Government authorities, child services, and courts are functioning properly.
• The circumstances of the child's parents or relatives have been determined.

2. It is important to collect all required documents that confirm:

• Availability of housing.
• A stable income of the adoptive parents.
• Conditions for the upbringing and development of the child.

Challenges in the Process:

• Military actions and related circumstances (lack of communication, displacement of people, operation of services under emergency conditions) may significantly delay or make the adoption process impossible.
• International adoption is not carried out during martial law due to the inability to complete necessary procedures.

Important notice:

The adoption process is possible in stable regions but remains challenging due to the wartime conditions. Those wishing to adopt a child should contact the child services department in their region for up-to-date information on possibilities and procedures.
