November 1, 2016, 11:45 1972 Author: Nikolay Kolodyazhny, translated by Andrei Vernon www.deti.zp.ua Hooray! Evgeny and Alexei has taken into custody

The fact that they are brothers is obvious from the first glance – they look very similar. Evgeniy truly loves his brother so much that he always tries to protect him. And at the same time – Aleksey trusts his brother. Aleksey studies in a special program, but nevertheless understands the academic material. Aleksey is responsible, disciplined, and active – he loves to play soccer.

Evgeniy is communicative – he communicates easily with the other students in his class. Evgeniy told us, “We should be a team and protect each other.” According to his teachers, Aleksey is hard working, neat and friendly. He enjoys studying, always comes to class in a good mood and absorbs each new lesson. His favorite subjects are P.E. and computers.

The bothers are very close – when working on something the boys try to help each other. They like to relax together – play soccer and basketball, watch movies and cartoons. The older one, Evgeniy, likes to cook and wants to work as a chef one day. The younger one, Aleksey, dreams about flying and wants to become a pilot. Unfortunately they have not had easy lives. Despite this, they still believe that there are good people in the world. They concentrate all of their thoughts into the possibility of having a new, loving family that will open a new world of possibilities.

If you are interested in adopting these 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.

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.
