A Child Needs a Family: Aleksey D., was born in 2006

December 9, 2010, 19:30 2155 Author: Victiria Mochalova, translated by Daria Sukach www.deti.zp.ua Aleksey now has mom, dad, and many sisters and brothers

One more child has recently left the orphanage. We're so happy about it! It's a pity this boy found his new family not in Ukraine but in the USA. The boy's HIV scared Ukrainian foster parents away. Aleksey's new parents made some video reports. Enjoy watching them!

Aleksey gets a kick out of tirelessly running and monkeying around the playground. He is an ordinary boy; he likes music and sports lessons as well as outdoor games. Aleksey enjoys watching cartoons and listening to fairy tales. His favourite fairy tale hero is Buratino (the Russian version of the Italian character Pinocchio). And it’s no wonder since the boy is as joyful and naughty as Buratino!

Aleksey is showing great developmental progress these days. He has become more diligent and attentive. The little boy is fond of drawing and completing jigsaw puzzles.

Aleksey is a child with special needs. However, it in no way means that you’d have to sacrifice your personal life if you welcomed this lovely boy into your family. The only thing he really needs is a bit more care and loving attention.

Aleksey is living in nursing home.

If you are interested in adopting Aleksey or other children, please read the memo to the potential adoptive parents, guardians, and foster parents or contact us or provide profile #0059310 to the State Department of Adoption.

Other children who dream of finding a family.

If you are not ready to adopt at this moment (e.g. you are a student and haven’t created your own family yet) you can also help children from the boarding school (orphanage) by supporting organizationally or financially excursions and trips for the children, visiting a child in the orphanage, or helping with buying developmental toys, books, construction sets and sport equipment.
