Eugene has his own loving family now abroad!

You look at Eugene and it seems he is lost in his dreams. But those who know the boy better say otherwise. It turns out he is full of life, active and a playful child. He likes different games, especially action-packed ones. He is less interested in studies; but who, being nine years old, didn’t look out of the window when a teacher was explaining something important?

Eugene is an emotional child. Sometimes he may do something without thinking and then feels terrible about it. Moreover, life in the orphanage is hard: every child needs love and care. And there are so many of them… How to make adults pay attention, to notice just you? Sometimes we don’t like the methods these kids use, they annoy us. But they work. The same thing happens in the family, but family has the opportunity to teach a child to get attention using less barbaric methods.

So I hope that Eugene will be given this opportunity; he will get loving parents. Parents who won’t be stopped by the fact that Eugene needs some medical attention. Nothing too dramatic: there’s no need to stay in the hospitals for months, have surgeries, buy tons of expensive drugs. The only thing you need to do is pay a little bit more attention to his health, than to health of any other child.

If you are interested in adopting Eugene, 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 Eugene accordingly to the orphan list # 0058279.

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.
