US: International Adoptions From Ukraine Put On Hold As War Rages (Includes video)
Newsy – March 04, 2022
The CCAI director says if children leave Ukraine for safety reasons, it could increase the timeline of reuniting them with families. Colorado-based Chinese Children Adoption International, or CCAI, is the leading international adoption agency in the world. Director Judy Winger says unfortunately, for now, there isn’t much families can do. “The safety of all the children right now is kind of everyone’s focus,” Winger said. “We’re all going to need to just kind of wait and see where there’s avenues where we can fundraise and help get services maybe to even get buses or, you know, transportation to those orphanages.”
