A couple of weeks ago we visited a baby home near Artёm...
These are a few of the people we met...the woman on the left in the white coat is the director. There are 105 children here from age 1 month to 4 years, with varying degrees of disabilities among about a third of them...the others have normal development.
The prospect of adoption and a family is slim for many of them and they will likely live out their lives institutionalized. The more we see, the more grateful we are for the blessed lives which we live, and the opportunity to offer something that might bring comfort to our dear young brothers and sisters here, who are loved by our Heavenly Father, and known to Him...
This little girl has Down Syndrome...and is visited frequently by her grandmother, but is unable to care for her.....
Dad had fun playing with little Andrei.....

oh, this is so sad. I'm glad you two were able to bring a little cheer to the kids. It looks like they need it. Thanks for sharing.
