Bodies of guardianship and care
In Ukraine, guardianship and adoption authorities are important state institutions that are responsible for protecting the rights and interests of minor children, as well as for conducting procedures in adoption cases.
The main functions of guardianship and adoption bodies in Ukraine include:
Protection of the rights and interests of children:
Guardianship and adoption authorities ensure the protection of the rights and interests of minor children, especially those who are in difficult family circumstances or under the care of the state.
Carrying out procedures in adoption cases:
These bodies are responsible for conducting adoption procedures, including preparing and supervising adoptions, maintaining a register of children in need of adoption, and providing support to families wishing to adopt a child.
Support for children under care:
Guardianship and adoption authorities support and supervise children who are under the care of the state in order to ensure their safety and well-being.
Social rehabilitation and development of children:
These institutions also deal with the development and social rehabilitation of children who need special attention and support.
Guardianship and adoption authorities in Ukraine play a key role in ensuring the welfare and protection of the rights of children in vulnerable situations, as well as in facilitating the adoption process for families wishing to adopt a child.
Representation in guardianship and guardianship bodies means the participation of a person (or his legal representative) in the process of decision-making and protection of the interests of a child or a minor who is under the care of the state or needs special care and support.
The main aspects of representation in guardianship and guardianship bodies include
Representation of the interests of the child:

Participation in decision-making procedures:
The representative participates in all procedures related to the custody and care of the child, such as committee meetings, court hearings and other administrative procedures.
Providing advice and support:

Participation in planning and solving questions about the child's future:
The representative actively participates in planning and solving issues related to the future of the child, such as adoption, placement in a foster family or other forms of care.
All these functions are aimed at protecting the rights and interests of the child and ensuring their proper care and well-being.
