Registration of adoption of a child with the consent of the father
Adoption is a process by which one or more persons (adopting parents) obtain the right to officially adopt and become parents of a child who is not their biological offspring. It is a legal act that establishes legal ties between the adoptive parents and the adopted child, and is intended to provide the child with a stable and safe environment for its development and well-being.
Adoption of a child in Ukraine with the consent of the father is a legally complex procedure that requires careful compliance with the rules and stages established by law. Below are the basic steps to accomplish this process.

Collection of necessary documents:
- statement of desire to adopt a child;
- passport data of the adopter;
- a certificate of the adopter's criminal record;
- documents confirming the financial status of the adopter (certificate from the place of work, declaration of income);
- medical certificate about the state of health of the adopter;
- documents on the place of residence and the right of ownership or use of housing.
The adopter submits an application about the desire to adopt a child to the body of guardianship and guardianship at the child's place of residence or at his place of residence. The guardianship and guardianship body checks the living conditions of the adopter and his ability to raise a child. The guardianship authority also checks the father's consent to the adoption.
Father's consent to adoption
If the child's father is alive and has parental rights, his consent to the adoption will be necessary. In this case, it is important to obtain the father's written consent for adoption, which must be duly drawn up and signed. The child's father gives written consent to the adoption, which must be notarized. If the parent agrees but cannot be present in person, he or she may give consent through a representative or through a notarized statement.
Trial
After receiving all the necessary documents and the consent of the father, the adopter submits an application to the court for adoption. The court considers the adoption case in a closed session with the mandatory participation of the adopter, a representative of the guardianship authority, and the child's father, if he does not object. The court can also listen to the opinion of the child, if he has reached such an age and level of development that he can express his opinion. After considering all the circumstances of the case and having the consent of the father, the court issues a decision on adoption.
Registration of adoption
After the adoption decision by the court, the RACS body registers the fact of adoption and issues a new birth certificate of the child with the data of the adopter. The adoptive parent acquires all the rights and responsibilities towards the child as the biological parent. Adoption information is confidential and may not be disclosed without the consent of the adopter.
Conclusion
Adoption of a child with the consent of the father in Ukraine includes several important stages, from the collection of documents to the court proceedings. It is important to comply with all procedural requirements and legal norms for the successful completion of the process. Contacting a qualified lawyer will help ensure the correctness and legality of all actions.
