Ukraine K2 help needed

[Brent and Vika 3]

We finally got Vika's ex-husband to agree to let Kirill come with her. We thought it was going to be a tough battle but after some talks all worked out. The help we need is what do we need to have him sign. I emailed the embassy but no response so I was hoping to see if anyone here has gone through this. From what I can gather its a notarized letter stating something to the affect of "he is allowed to accompany his mother and move to the states". In have also read we need a copy of the fathers internal Ukrainian passport. Any help with the wording of this letter and also what language it should be in, and any other requirements would be appreciated so much. It's a shame to not get a response from the embassy but this community has been, and will continue to be a lifesaver. Thanks in advance.

We went to a notary in Ukraine. They knew exactly how it needed to be worded. Also there are quite a few posts on this topic. Here are a few:

Yes must be notarized. Ther is no particular format but it must state that the parent gives permission for the other parent to relocate the child PERMANENTLY to the UNITED STATES.

You should also word it to allow for all future travel until age 16. You will need this letter EACH TIME you leave Ukraine until the child is age 16, even after the child is a US permanent resident or even a US citizen! Keep a copy of this letter (Alla always kept the original with her) when you travel.

You must also include a cpy of the absent parent's photo and signature page from their passport (internal passport works)
