How to apply for adoption of a child through a lawyer?

Good day.

To adopt a child, it is necessary to apply to the service for children, which keeps records of children who have been left without parental care and can be adopted.

An application for adoption is submitted to the court at the child's place of residence.

In order to become an adopter, you need to go through a certain procedure and submit certain documents to the court, such as copies of passports, marriage certificates, birth certificates of children, characteristics of the applicant and the child, the conclusion of the children's service about the possibility of being an adopter, certificates of income and absence criminal records, health certificates and registration at the place of residence. In addition, a court fee must be paid.

If the court decides to adopt the child, the adopter must personally pick up the child from the place of residence after presenting a copy of the court decision on adoption in the presence of a representative of the children's affairs service.

Regarding the submission of an application for the adoption of a child through a lawyer, it should be noted that in accordance with Article 223 of the Family Code of Ukraine, a person who wishes to adopt a child submits an adoption application to the court. Submission of such an application through a representative is not allowed.
