    We don’t need to imagine. Oksana Masters was adopted from one of these poorly run Ukrainian care homes. Her parents encouraged her to pursue adaptive sports as a way to deal with the anger and trauma from her time in the care home. She’s one of the most decorated Paralympic athletes ever, has medals in 4 different sports, and hasn’t missed the Paralympics since 2012 (winter or summer). Obviously not every disabled child with the opportunity to do sports will become a paralympian, but the difference between her life in Ukraine and her life in the USA shows what’s possible

All the red tape one has to go through/ also the expense , just as you mentioned is completely unacceptable. These poor kids have to suffer: not having the proper loving and nurturing that they so desperately need and deserve. Makes any heart ache for them. 😥😥😥😥

    Agree. They should be making sure the kids aren't being adopted by pedophiles or abusive people (i.e. check their criminal background) other than that they need to make it easy to adopt. Here in America we are filthy rich compared to the rest of the planet, there are many here who would adopt if there weren't so many restrictions and so expensive. Like the age limit is ridiculous, alot of people finally have the financial means when they're in their 40s and the maturity to make good decisions. How can having older parents be worse than an orphanage that can barely hang on and almost zero healthcare?

    @@meeeka RT had done several documentaries on these places and it put them on the map as a point of contention. One of Patrick Lancaster’s videos from 3-4 years ago, while he was preparing to rebuild a kindergarten in Donbass, bombed by the filthy Asovs..(you know, the “brave Ukrainian troops” our media and politicians are fawning over)-he was talking to parents, a couple who had disabled young children. They were actually grateful the Govt in Kiev had cut ALL funding to things like schools, hospitals, care homes, etc. They said they had all become places of horror and the Govt had been forcing the children to work in the coal mines instead of school. One mom said they preferred to come together to raise, teach and treat their children. Russia sent help when they could & MSF was eventually able to bring enough doctors in to re-open the hospital…at least until it became one of Asov’s primary targets again last month. What shocks me more than anything is we have HUNDREDS of documentaries about the corruption, barbarity and blatant abuse of Ukraines Govts these past 8 years; documentaries on the genocide of over 14,000 people in Eastern Ukraine, all at the hands of the proudly self-proclaimed NAZIS who see Eastern Ukrainians and Russians as “cockroaches unworthy of life”. Politicians in Ukraine, notably NOT the ones banned and booted last week, have speeches on KZread bragging how they won’t allow a penny of Aid money to go to the “lazy cockroaches” in Eastern Ukraine. But guess what? Although, at the moment, these videos and documentaries are still on KZread-mention them, and you are attacked for spreading Russian propaganda. Nazis? Well yea, they filled Ukraines military during a BBC documentary last year-NOW? They don’t exist and if you say otherwise, you love Putin. I feel so sickened for these children because with a Govt who thinks of them as less than human? And I can promise the billions being pumped in for aid for the people..will NEVER make it to the children who need it most.

    Cassandra Messing If you’re still interested in adoption and you’re living in the US, adopting children from the foster system is actually either free or *extremely* cheap (next to nothing). International and private adoption is where things get *very* expensive, which I think is just awful. No child should have that high of a price tag in order for them to be rescued from horrific orphanages where even their basic needs aren’t being met on a regular basis. I have never understood why the price tag is so high, in addition to why so many countries are overly picky on what prospective parents they allow to adopt children who are in that country’s care, especially when those children are costing that country money that they seem to not want to spend. Some refuse to allow single parents, have restrictions on age, how many children someone already has/ the ages of their children, and even more ridiculous qualifications that need to be met, none of which really measure someone’s ability to provide a child with a loving home where they will be cared for. It’s so sad, because so many people would love nothing more than to give these kids a loving home, but instead these children remain forgotten and abused. It truly breaks my heart.

    I'm in the medical field, not in Ukraine but in another country where there's an epidemic of parents signing their babies, especially disabled ones, over to the state. Somehow of all the things I've seen, this has consistently been one of the hardest things to deal with. I would look at those babies looking so innocent and happy and just feel immense guilt over what's going to happen to them. I would always try to pick them up and play with them even for a little bit because maybe nobody else will. I'm not justifying the actions of the doctors in the video, they were 1000% wrong to not take any responsibility for the ill kids whatsoever. But it's easy to just lose your humanity when society is structured this way.

Prolonging life like that isn't enjoyable for anyone, even the kid. They deserve to live but its impossible. The little boy with no feet and hands for example could most definitely be rehabilitated and helped, and with good medical care could even get prosthetics etc. but some of those in there are beyond repair, and we should be looking to the fact that a lot of these are probably caused by drink/drugs/miscare during pregnancy, if the mother cant take care of herself the little baby will never grow or will be deformed with severe health problems. Should be restrictions on who can have birth really, crazy as it sounds.

    If they just had someone to hold them hug them and aside from that for many with mobility issues give them some basic physical therapy. It wouldn’t fix the larger problem of they systematic institutionalizing with inadequate staffing but could help so much. They deserve an education as well. Many of them could learn and benefit. Even dogs in the pound get a walk every day. Universal Aid For Children help these orphans, not just with adoption but improving conditions. It’s a way to help.

    @@sarahtiferet9025 but Americans keep voting for that system. They don't want universal health care or single payer system, like other wealthy, civilized & sane countries with better health outcomes & life expectancy b/c of it. They'd rather pay $15000 for an ER visit & $7000 for dental care & $1200 for a single MRI & $4000 for a 5 mile ambulance ride. It's maddening how moronic many Americans are continuing to vote against their own interests & the best interests of all Americans by continuing to vote for a For-Profit capitalism health system that screws them over their entire lives & takes their income & homes to pay for that care & system. I will never understand the dedication to insanity. The fact Americans are actually dumb enough to literally want a for-profit healthcare system & want a hospital stay to cost $400,000 instead of vote for a system that makes that obsolete & affordable for all, is mind blowing. No other civilized, wealthy, sane country's residents have to worry about losing their home for an ER visit or for a root canal. Only in America can ignorance thrive to such an epic illogical degree that individuals choose this draconian system on purpose for identity politics, over voting for their own best interest & interests of a whole better, healthier society. #FreeDumb thrives & drains Americans bank accounts b/c they vote to bankrupt themselves & enable the for-profit system and the wealthy & corporations instead. Lunacy on steroids it is. Many Americans are only interested in pretending they're pro-life & pro-life to them ends at womb, not through to the tomb.

I wonder how things have changed since this film was made and what happens now with the war raging there. I have cried throughout this film. It is shocking and heartbreaking to see so many children and young adults suffering this injustice. Bless all of them and also the staff who do what they can with limited funds and regimes.

    you got to have some understanding for some of these workers... they work in state institutions that are not funded nearly enough, have no proper care, no professional staff, education, specialized tools, in a state that has very little rights and reforms for the children with mental and phyical illness. they bunch up unwanted disabled children together, no matter if it's a mental disability, mild autism, or just a physical disability. so of course they're in a way hopeless. they know the state will never provide what is needed for them and the carers do just bare minimum. I work in an educational institution for such children. and it is very expensive and slow work to see any process in their mental development. took me two years to teach one child to wash his hands. one kid, two years! and I am teacher to just two of them! if a professional is lucky, they are able to teach 4 of them (mild mental disability) but usually it's only two children per educator. we also have assisstants that help us if children become too rowdy, other half of the building is their hospital with neurologists, speech therapists, and everythng in between. the problem is rooted in the government, not the people who are just doing their job at these places.

    Tea Lili If you’re interested in adoption and you’re living in the US, adopting children from the foster system is actually free or *extremely* cheap (next to nothing). Many people are unaware of this, and it is not public knowledge to the extent that it should be. International and private adoption is where things get *very* expensive, which I also think is just awful. No child should have that high of a price tag in order for them to be rescued from horrific orphanages where even their basic needs aren’t being met on a regular basis. I have never understood why the price tag is so high, in addition to why so many countries are overly picky on what prospective parents they allow to adopt children who are in that country’s care, especially when those children are costing that country money that they seem to not want to spend. Some refuse to allow single parents, have restrictions on age, how many children someone already has/ the ages of their children, and even more ridiculous qualifications that need to be met, none of which really measure someone’s ability to provide a child with a loving home where they will be cared for. It’s so sad, because so many people would love nothing more than to give these kids a loving home, but instead these children remain forgotten and abused. It truly breaks my heart.
