We have some friends with five Ukrainian adopted kids. Two are special needs, one of those is pretty severe with Downs Syndrome. The other has some physical issues but nothing mental. They knew that going in.
The other three are teenage siblings. The oldest has had some challenges and is now living on her own. The other two, as far as I know have adjusted perfectly well. The last time I saw them, they were getting very English fluent and loving their new lives.

I am going to get petty and small here, but I see people adopting disabled and some times severely disabled children from other countries, to be brought to the US to be placed on SS and welfare, and Medicare and Medicaid, sometimes needing group homes, special schooling, one to one care, and I think: Well you have done something nice and heroic, and other Americans will be enslaved through taxes to support your heroic choices.
There are some people who float the whole boat but they are far and between.
Are they planning to live in Ukraine or the States? It sounds like they are Christian missionaries.
