The Child needs A Family: Darina M., born in 2000

January 17, 2012, 14:30 3122 Author: Victoria Mochalova, translated by Valentina Likhodid www.deti.zp.ua Darina is currently not available for adoption

Darina is currently not available for adoption.

The girl has very thick and beautiful hair. All hairdresser’s tiny mistakes are clearly visible on such hair. And here… Every adult would be very disappointed, but the girl does not worry about this trifle: soon they will grow again and then hairdo can be changed.

Probably now when I’m writing these lines Dasha is in Italy on her holidays. She has recently got to the boarding school, so she has never gone abroad unlike other children. Some girl told that there is no homeless people and drug addicts. It inspired Dasha very much. The most unpleasant things for her - rudeness, foul language, filth, poverty. The place deprived of it – is a heaven on the Earth. In her life she has been through a lot of such things, so she is almost sure that in Ukraine there is nothing else.

She was looking forward to this trip. Dasha seriously got ready for the trip: she does not know Italian yet, so she decided to improve her English. It not so easy in the boarding school : every time someone distracts you.

Generally Dasha is an active and practical person. Furthermore she likes painting and beading. Also she plays the accordion and plans on the new family. Perhaps it is you, who will show Dasha the other, joyful side of the life.

If you are interested in adopting Darina, please read the memo to the potential adoptive parents, guardians, and foster parents; you can also contact Children’s Affairs' service of the Zaporozhia State Administration by telephone (061) 239-01-56. Request the Profile Number of Darina accordingly to the orphan list #0055630.

Other children who dream of finding a family

If for some reason you are currently not able to adopt (for example, you are a student and do not have a family of your own yet) you are still able to help children at a boarding school (an orphanage) with your financial support. Ways you can help include: planning and participating in excursions and trips for children; visiting a child in an orphanage; or helping purchase developmental toys, books, construction sets, and sports equipment.
