Family Home, Beregowo Ukraine

The people of south-western Ukraine face a future without hope. Parents are often unable to care for their children, and many new-born babies are left deserted in hospital, receiving the label “deserted child”. They remain on the children’s ward under harrowing circumstances — yearning for love and attention but rarely picked up and cuddled, in poor hygiene and malnourished, with no place for them in society. These children face a future of being passed from one orphanage to the next.

Family Home

Eastern European Outreach has been working in Beregowo since 1995. We have opened a family house here where deserted children can be taken care of. In this house, babies find a home where they are wanted, receive love and attention, and are stimulated to grow in their development. The intention is that these children will eventually be placed with an adoptive family — during their stay, they receive healing and restoration that makes adoption easier. At the same time, the team searches for Ukrainian Christian families willing to adopt.

A family

A couple forms the cornerstone of this work. Together with a team of educational workers, and from a Christian lifestyle, they devote themselves to:

• Offering a safe environment so the children learn to bond
• Providing good food and care
• Giving love and attention and stimulating the children’s development
• Preparing the children for adoption
• Looking for and supervising adoptive parents

Not a final destination

The family home puts an end to a hopeless future — a deserted child becomes a wanted child in an adoptive family. Can you help such a child to a new future? Such a life deserves all the help it can get.
