For American Embassy in Kiev you may bring
either a copy of your most recent tax return, or your last
year's W2 statements, or 2-3 recent pay stubs. Any of these
will suffice.
Pls
use
www.vitalcheck.com
for ordering all our stuff. You can get your vital records (birth,
marriage, death,or divorce) from any state through them.
They're FAST and they send you a certified, notarized "original"
that's ready to be apostilled.
Talking about credit cards, it is possible to
remove money from these cards, and to pay by cards in some
shops in Ukraine. But it is not profitable. Moreover, if you
take cash (which is desirable), the banknotes should be
after 1990, not shabby and torn.
Do not take tickets with the closed date.
Do not take many things with you. It is
possible to buy all necessary for you in Ukraine.
In Kiev airport 'Boryspil' take the medical
insurance ( cost $10-$40 on person ).
Before making any commitments, check
references, paperwork and requirements. Call the contact
person and ask for any written agreements that this
facilitator (agency) provides as well as their references.
If there is no such agreement, you are likely to have some
legitimate risks.
If you want fast passage of customs at the
airport (Boryspol, Kiev), you can use the service a meeting
of the very important person (VIP)

ANNUAL REPORTING FORMAT
I
know that there have been some concerns as to the form your
annual report should take.
Here is a link to Ukraine's
Embassy in the United States with a download of a report form.
http://ukraineinfo.us/consular/adoption-report.html
Just click the word Here. It said it was in Rich
Text Format and it saved nicely into my Microsoft Word
program.
It does not ask any information on the
parents, other than name and address. The questions deal with
the child's development.
It does ask for between 8 to
10 photos. I would attach at least one photo and for those of
you who can, go ahead and attach more.
It also asks
for any medical reports.
By the way for families
wishing proof that it was received send it to your Ukrainian
Consulate by return receipt requested. Your post office can
help you with that. You can also send a self addressed stamped
envelope along with an extra copy of the report for them to
stamp and send back showing it was received. Some people
reported this worked and others are still waiting for them.
But, with return receipt mail, at least you can show someone
signed for your
mail.
