Maryna Sventukh
International Programs Director
Every child deserves the warmth of a family and a world full of hope. My mission is to build the links that bring them together.
The Heart Behind the Mission
Maryna brings over 17 years of experience in international adoption and navigating intricacies of the international law to World Links. Her career has been defined by a deep-seated heart for adoption and a tireless commitment to children’s rights.
Starting her career as a post-adoption support specialist, Maryna recognized early on that the barrier between children and families wasn’t a lack of love, but a complex web of bureaucracy. She joined World Links to streamline this journey while maintaining the highest ethical standards.
She oversees all International Adoption Programs, ensuring that every family is supported with empathy and legal expertise throughout their journey, from the first application to the moment they bring their child home.
