Who is to profit from orphans in Ukraine?

The newborn Dennis was left in the maternity hospital alone. His mom was discharged from the hospital in 7 days after his birth. She beared the brunt of temporary repudiation. As she explained: “because of the housing problem”. Katja – the mother of little Dennis – had no place to go with her newborn son. She is orphan and on the 8th day after childbirth she came back to study in the vocational school in Makeevka. She came back to her room in the student’s hostel and as one of the educationalists said “to Vladimir’s bed”. Vladimir is father of the baby – the same 17-year old orphan as Katja. She came to morn the loss of the baby, suffering from the pain in her breast full of milk, and understanding that their son will also become orphan as his parents are..
In two weeks Vladimir happened to meet “aunt Tanja” – so call children Tatjana Nosach – director of Donetsk children rights protection center and NGO “Youth Alternative center”, which helps street children. The whole Saturday night Katja and Tatjana tried to recover lactation and restore Katja’s assertiveness. Monday young parents together with workers of Donetsk and Makeevka children rights protection centers had to fight for the baby. Young couple decided to become real family and get their little son back..
The firs step was appeal to the state center of social services for youth and family. The chief of the service – Natalja Merkulova was shocked with this situation. Urgently the commission of social workers of state and nongovernmental organizations came to the vocational school, which officially is Katja’s and Vladimir’s tutor. It was important to understand, who is to profit from taking this baby away from mother? The situation was absolutely senseless, but such cruelty had to have some explanation. Nevertheless the commission did’n find the answer..
Doctors in the maternity hospital gave the baby back just at the first request. .
In part the things were getting clearer, when the social workers discussed this problem with educators in the vocational school. They tried to explain, that such young girl like Katje can not become a good mom for the baby, because “ she is stupid and young and has to study. It is impossible, that children will bring up the child!” They also said, that Katja has no maternity instinct and added, that 6 Katja’s classmates are also pregnant and it is impossible to organize the study. .
The soul of teenager is very vulnerable. It can happen that only one word can change his life. And such educators can destroy it with the torrent of abuse. Maternity instinct is the gift of God for every woman, and who can decide, if she has it enough or not. Every little girl swaddle their dolls and rock them to sleep. They feel it with their bodies. It is not to explain..
Newborn Dennis came back to his mom. Happy and brave young father sought Katja’s hand in marriage. Young couple doesn’t expect, that their life will be easy. .
There are so many people on the Earth and the most of them have parents, who had no experience with children before their birth..
Katja and Vladimir have their orphan pension and inheritance from parents who died (two small houses). Now they stay in the Donetsk children rights protection center together. Vladimir studies, Katja has permission for short recess. Little bit later, when the young mom will be ready, they hope to move to their own house an live there long and happy.
