Missing baby houses

Submitted by www.adoptionknowhow.com on Fri, 2007-07-27 00:47.
The baby houses are either missing or incomplete from this list. I work with the baby house (ages 0-3) in Artemovsk, Donetsk region. It is a small town, and the orphanage is very old and needy, but the caretakers are WONDERFUL and caring. Children are happy. We provide daily vitamins, building repairs, and so on. Anyhow with an adoption referral can know at the very least that the children were loved and well cared-for in their orphanage. Also, I noticed that Sonichko in Mariupol is listed as for 'mentally deficient' children. That was only under the old Soviet system of specialized orphanages for specific disorders. There are some children meeting that description there, but the majority either have slight issues (not noticable) or none at all! Conversely, Chasiv Yar Orphanage IS an orphanage for children with mental disability. More children there meet that description as a percentage. However, there are also children living there who seem very intelligent and without problems. Sometimes it is a total mystery as to why certain children are placed in these institutions - sometimes I think it is random, or just due to a lack of space elsewhere at the particular moment that child needs to be placed...

"Sonyachko" in Mariupol Not Just for "Mental Deficients"

Submitted by www.adoptionknowhow.com on Fri, 2007-07-13 02:04.
Mariupol's Sonyachko Orphanage (also transliterated as "Sonechko"), is not solely for children with mental deficiencies. Many children with normal intelligence reside there and/or have been adopted from this orphanage, whose staff provides very good, affectionate care to the children. Two of my young cousins came home to the USA from Sonechko fifteen months ago. They are thriving with their forever family, and are bright children (biological siblings), with excellent attention spans, intellectual curiousity, creativity, and unusually good memory skills. The children now speak good functional English, and the ten year old, who loves books, cats and horses, is reading English at beginning third grade level, while the eight year old, who loves swimming, music and dance, is reading English at beginning second grade level. Not bad, for children who came home in March of 2006 speaking fewer than ten words of English. "Mentally deficient"?? Not these two young Sonechko alums! So please, if you are considering Ukrainian adoption or know someone who is traveling to Ukraine to adopt, do not reject Sonechko children on the basis of this misleading description of this orphanage's focus. There may be some "slow" children at Sonechko - but there are many, many normally intelligent children there as well. We are so blessed to have these delightful children in our family....
