A Colorado family's plan to adopt three sisters from Ukraine has been put on hold due to Russia's invasion of the country.
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. – A Colorado family had nearly completed adopting three Ukrainian sisters. But then Russia invaded the country, bringing the process to a halt.Amy Martin said the adoption paperwork can be overwhelming.
But Martin said it’s all worth it to adopt the three girls from Ukraine. Her family hosted them at their home in Castle Rock, Colorado, during Christmas.Martin said she didn’t want to reveal the girls’ names for safety reasons, but she said they are 9, 12, and 16 years old.“We knew this was coming, that things weren’t looking great over there, and we didn’t want to send them back at all,” Martin said. “We had hoped that would work out.
They learned recently that the sisters had successfully made it out of Ukraine, and are seeking refuge in Poland.
