expect delays....

The new National Adoption Centre in Ukraine is moving slowly in terms of getting their administrative functioning under control. They are definitely "under construction" as far as staffing is concerned. The new administration did not re-hire any of their old staff, so there will be a need for training their new employees. At present, the Adoption Centre in Kyiv is not accepting any dossiers. The news that we received yesterday is that they will start accepting dossiers (including updated dossiers) in July 2006 and will most likely start allocating travel dates for September,and as late as January 2007. The AC stopped accepting dossiers in April. I am sorry to say that we should expect delays....
