A Child Needs a Family: Stepan S., born in 2013

October 20, 2015, 13:30 6985 Author: Ekaterina Verman, translated by Andrei Vernon www.deti.zp.ua Stepan is an active little guy. Profile# 0245152

This was our second meeting with Stepan. The last time we met with him was over a year ago when he was only six months old.

Stepan is an active little guy – he loves musical toys and talking.

Stepan is a good eater, but still needs help feeding himself. Stepan loves to play with and figure out his new toys.

According to his caretakers, Stepan can be compared to the main character in the children’s movie “Imp #13.” Stepan loves to move around and tries to touch everything in his reach.

Stepan is especially happy when he gets special attention. He would truly be happy living with a family and would, of course, make everyone around him full of joy and happiness.

Stepan is a child with special needs.

If you would like Stepan to join your family, please contact us.

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 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.
