May 13, 2016, 11:30 2373 Author: Alexander Proskurin, translated by Andrei Vernon www.deti.zp.ua A talented dancer and musician, file number #0272925.

Yaroslav was born in December 2013. His favorite activity is playing games associated with music. According to his caretakers, he “definitely has a great talent for show business.” Yaroslav loves to dense and has a great rhythm. He is ready to dance as long as the music plays. The boy also likes to play with dolls. Judging from how he feeds the doll during playtime, you can understand that he is a very caring person and radiates kindness.

Yaroslav enjoys interacting with the other children and is very communicative. He loves outdoor games and also likes to go on walks soaking in the world around him. Even though the child does not talk very well well, he can already pronounce the names of his caretakers and teachers. He is always happy to see them.

During out interview with him, Yaroslav was excited to play with the journalists and watched the cameraman and had a special interest in the video camera. We are sure that in the near future this boy will be adopted and will fully understand parents’ love and care.

If you have been thinking about adopting this child or other children, please, read the memo to potential adoptive parents, guardians, and foster parents; or you can also contact Children’s Affairs' service of the Zaporozhye State Administration by telephones (061) 239-02-51 or (061) 239-01-56 and Yaroslav‘s file number – 0272925.

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.
