A Child needs a Family: Oksana Ch., born in 2001

September 29, 2014, 13:15 5435 Author: Anastasia Pisareva, translated by Daria Sukach www.deti.zp.ua Oksana is 18 years old now

This little swarthy girl is pretty self-confident. Oksana does not feel shy towards strangers and comes up first to introduce herself. She is a very active, curious and cheerful girl. Oksana is sometimes naughty and does not listen to her educators but this is rather her trick of receiving more attention and an extra portion of care. If Oksana found a loving family, she would learn real care and love of her mom and dad and all her childish pranks would disappear.

Oksana has a fighting spirit. She will not let herself to be hurt and is always ready to pinch her offender. Oksana has perfect qualities of a leader: in studies and sports games the girl always tries to be the first. She never misses to be the first one who tests all the sandboxes, ladders and training equipment. She is also keen on table games such as blocks, construction sets and lotto.

Oksana is a child with special needs. She cannot speak. However, she is quick to understand and respond to people around. She is very good at taking care of herself: she can dress herself as well as wash her face and hands.

If you are interested in adopting Oksana, 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 and to tell them the number of Oxana's profile accordingly to the orphan list # 0152725.

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.
