Ukraine: & US: Ukraine War: Adoptions halted; kids, families anxiously wait (Includes video)
WNYW – March 01, 2022
Chris and Gina Jahraus are in the process of adopting 9-year-old Sashko from Ukraine. Now that Russia has invaded that country, their dreams are on hold. Sashko spent several weeks living with their family. Even though tensions were increasing, the adoption was not final so they had to send him back. Amy Martin is in the process of adopting three sisters from Ukraine. She, too, had to send the young sisters back to Ukraine because the adoption was not yet final. Adoption agencies told me they are working around the clock to find a way to move these orphans to a safer country or even to a permanent home with the families still anxiously waiting.
