Veronika is a very quiet child. The thing that got her excited was a big ball in the rehabilitation room. She rolled it, laughed and showed her emotions freely. Our cameraman received his share of her cheerful laughter and warm smiles.

Veronika is a lively child. She likes walking outdoors. Her favourite pastime is active games.

Veronika is a child with special needs. She requires a lot of attention. She reaches out for adults in want of communication. She is very gentle with adults, but sometimes quarrels with other kids in the group. Sadly these issues are caused by competition for the caregiver's attention between the orphans. Parental love and care would resolve the problem.

If you are interested in adopting Veronika, 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 quoting Veronika’s Profile Number 0057344.
