June
1997
Sergey was a physically
handicapped orphan from Vinnitsa. He underwent medical treatment in
Charlotte, NC, where he met his future parents and older brother. One year
later the family and Sergey flew back to Ukraine for adoption and
immigration purposes. The Vinnitsa orphanage workers were amazed how quickly
Sergey learned English and how well he is doing with his left arm
prosthesis. Ukraine Parliament did a special TV feature on Sergey's
adoption story encouraging Ukrainians and foreigners to adopt special needs
children.

This little boy was
adopted from an Odessa orphanage by an American missionary couple that settled
down in Ukraine. Samuel's adoption was a great blessing for this
couple.
Now Samuel lives in Lviv, Ukraine and
enjoys having a family and three brothers to play with. But the most
amazing is the fact that his life is and will be shaped by Ukrainian culture
and Christian spiritual values.

This 9 month old girl was
adopted from an orphanage in Simferopol. The adoption process went well.
The couple from Illinois were more than happy with its results!
"Grace is growing and speaking and
happy. She is a real blond cutie with a big smile..." |

This was our second
special needs adoption. Elena had club feet that never would be
surgically corrected in Ukraine, but would be in America, thanks to a Christian family from
Atlanta. They traveled to Vinnitsa and adopted Elena. After
the adoption process Elena had surgery that brought her a whole new
life!
"Elena's English is improving
everyday. It is amazing how well she is adjusted... We finally got her roller blades
and the first day she put them on she could barely stand up, but she
wanted to skate. I gave her credit, she has a great self image and
thinks she can do anything!"

Adam's adoptive parents live in North Carolina and have Ukrainian and
Canadian decent. They
traveled to Ukraine in July 1998 and had an Adoption Center referral
to Svalyava (Uzhgorod region). Adam was
quite thrilled to meet his future parents from North Carolina. His favorite
phrase was "Dai meni pechenyecko", which means "give me a
little cookie". One year later the same couple came back to
Ukraine for a second adoption! They adopted Zachary, an 18 month
old boy from Lviv.

interview.

These
adorable twins came from a Vinnitsa orphanage. Their adoptive family are of
American and Polish decent. Stasik and Vladik are double blessing as
well as double work!
"Stasik and Vladik are doing fine,
and keeping us very busy! We're finding that these little guys are able to
get into places that you never dream possible, and they've also caught on
to using their little chairs to reach even higher!"

This 13 month baby girl
was in a Simferopol orphanage, at the time when a Florida couple came to see
her. They fell in love with the child. This picture reminds our staff
about the couple's trust and care that was displayed during this adoption. We
are proud that Nadya found loving and caring parents.

Sierra came from a Mykolaiv orphanage. The
couple from Georgia fell in love with her as soon as they saw this lovely
child. Here is how they described that moment: "When I picked her up and played with her she laughed
and laughed. I think it was that first big smile, a smile of recognition,
finally you are here!"
To find more about their adoption, see transcript of
their
interview.
