The child found a family: Bogdan M., born in 2011

June 16, 2015, 14:30 3069 Author: Ekaterina Verman, translated by Anna Oliynyk www.deti.zp.ua Bogdan gained loving parents!

Last year Bogdan made a real breakthrough in his development. Not long ago, this kid was not even able to walk. His educators say that Bogdan is a very enthusiastic boy. He likes doing all kinds of stuff. Playing, listening to music, even dancing. Maybe when he grows up, he will become a real musician.

Bogdan now can eat without assistance. He eats well. He holds his own spoon and cup. Moreover, Bogdan understands everything what he is told. He enjoys outside walks. Also the boy sleeps well.

But most of all, little Bodgan needs his parents’ love and care. Nothing can really replace the warmth of home and the joy of having a family, a mother and a father.

Let us help Bogdan find his family. He really needs people to help him grow up and develop, to be a boy having a mother and a father. And you can be sure that he will devote you not only his first song, but all his life.

Bogdan is a child with special needs.

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.
