	Above is a scan of a child's passport page with the registration stamp (bottom right) of the Consulate Ukraine in Washington.    POST-ADOPTION REGISTRATION In the Letter of Obligation you've promised to register your child with the Consulate and provide yearly updates. If you fail to register you may jeopordize the future of all Ukrainian adoptions by Americans. Also, if you decide to return to Ukraine to adopt again or just to visit you could have serious problems. PLEASE NOTE: You must register your child at the Ukrainian Consulate which has jurisdiction over your state. See "CONSULATE JURISDICTIONS" below. After you have completed your journey to Ukraine and are home with your new child please take the time to complete and submit the registration form to the Ukrainian Consulate (it is required within one month of your return).   When you ship to me or directly to the Consulate include your child's original passport, the completed form with recent photo attached and a copy (photocopy only) of the court decree (in Ukrainian).   The turnaround time is roughly nine business days, and the Consulate does not charge for this service. If you wish you may ship directly to the Consulate (include return airbill) or Doyle Authentications can walk it through for you for a fee of $28.00 (no matter how many children you're registering). This fee includes return (2 day) FEDEX shipping. Please give me a call or e-mail on the day you ship. Follow shipping instructions on the "shipping options" page. PLEASE BE SURE I HAVE YOUR CURRENT ADDRESS. Many families relocate to make room for new family members, and if I ship to your old address Fedex charges $10.00 bad address fee.
