Kazakhstan was part of the former Soviet Union. The Kazakhstani government is working to provide a straightforward and clear adoption process. There is no restriction on age between parent and child or any other restrictions. This may change with new legislation. Children are available from 6 months and up.
Travel is required for both parents.
Program Ukrainian orphans must be registered on the national databank for a period of 1 year before they can be adopted. However this registry period can be waived if the child is deemed to have certain illnesses as defined by the Ministry of Health. It means that some children less than 1 year old with correctable medical problems are available for adoption too. Parents wishing to adopt Ukrainian children have to be registered with the Adoption Center in the Ukraine. In order to do it, they have to submit their Application and other required dossier paperwork.
