Sasha finished school and studies at the lycee.

Sasha was born in 1997. Now he lives in the orphanage of Zaporozhye.

Sasha is an enterprising, jolly and tidy boy. At first glance, he is shy and a little timid, but the teachers say that Sasha is a leader in class and his reasoning abilities are ahead of his classmates’. Sasha learns quite well. Sasha has been living in the orphanage No 3 for about 3 years.

Sasha loves travelling and going on excursions and has already been to Kiev and Sevastopol, and is also dreaming about going to the USA one day. In his spare time, Sasha likes to play ball games with his friends, war games and light fires – like any boy of his age. Sometimes at weekends Sasha manages to stay at his Grandma’s and meet his 12 year-old brother there. Sasha especially values the time he spends at home.

Sasha has decided that when he grows up, he will definitely become a builder.

Sasha does not like it in the orphanage too much as it is a lot better at home with the grandma but what can one do – you have to be patient and get used to the present reality, and at the same time cherish a dream about a normal family.

If you are interested in adopting Sasha or other children, please read the memo to the potential adoptive parents, guardians, and foster parents or contact us or provide profile #0055489 to the State Department of Adoption.
