You Can Help Orphans in Ukraine!

In and out of orphanages for most of his short life, Serezha was desperate for a loving family.

Yelena, a wonderful woman from Ukraine and adoptive mother to four beautiful children, learned that two of her children had a biological brother living in an orphanage. Unquestionably shocked to hear such heartbreaking news, Yelena immediately sought to adopt this little boy. That little boy is Serezha, and through your faithful giving, he is now officially adopted into Yelena’s family!

Yelena reports that Serezha is kindhearted and loves to assemble erector sets. His favorite activity is playing ball with his siblings, where he can run like the wind. He is hoping to learn to ride a bike this summer, a simple dream that would be unimaginable in an orphanage. Like most seven-year-olds, he’s learning to love school and is quick with clever arguments and reasoning.

Serezha is physically seven years old but developmentally he is four or five years old because of the intense trauma he suffered growing up. Serezha would occasionally hit others, an adverse reaction from his troubled past. With help from his mom, brothers, and sister, Serezha is learning positive ways to cope with his emotions and he is doing much better.

Thank you for making this adoption a reality for Serezha. He now has the loving family he so desperately longed for thanks to you!
