A Child Needs a Family: Dmitry D., born in 2012

June 16, 2015, 11:00 3822 Author: Ekaterina Verman, translated by Anna Oliynyk www.deti.zp.ua A boy with thoughtful eyes and beautiful smile. Profile #0249701

Dima enjoys doing puzzles and construction sets; he does them with care and attention. When you look at him, it is easy to predict that in future he will become a scientist or a thinker.

The little boy does everything slowly and carefully. His educator says that one can rely on him and the boy will be of a great help.

Though the boy is rather shy and is not willing to open to people he does not know, he is a good friend. One can often see the boy exchanging toys with his neighbors or lending them his toy for a while.

During our visit, Dima was reserved and alert, one could notice that the boy needs safety, love and care which he may only get in a family. Probably that is why one could see sadness in Dima’s thoughtful eyes. He as well as any other boy or girl wants to live in a family, having a mother and a father, who would love him no matter what. And you can be sure that in response he will give you the love you can only dream about. Those eyes can’t lie, can they?

Dima has got two brothers and a sister, who also have their profiles placed on our website.

If you are interested in adopting this child or other children, 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 refer to the profile number of Dmitry - 0249701.

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.
