Disabled orphans are available for adoption. Adopt a disabled child
>
Unfortunately, this is true. You are either not reading carefully, or you are interpreting everything in your own way.
Because The bottom topic has gone far down, I’ll quote a statement from your previous message:
the problems that Lyusya described apply not only to disabled people, but to everyone living in Russia, so it is not clear why this is called the problems of raising a disabled person; Is it only disabled people who suffer from rudeness and lack of money? It’s not possible to go there and there with wheelchairs, but is it possible with regular wheelchairs? there are still pensioners living whose pensions are two thousand; and society there discriminates not only against people with disabilities, but against all those who are not rich-famous-great; I think it’s not me who needs to become special children, but you who need to read Russian newspapers more and go there more often; That’s why I asked, since society is like this and that, now everyone who lives in Russia should lie down and die?
and in general, I think that the author meant specific aspects of howling people with disabilities, and not a story about rudeness around and lack of money.>>
I would like to point out to you that I have never written anywhere about the SHORTAGE of money, and especially the rudeness AROUND. I wrote that you need a LOT of money. And rudeness is in INSTITUTIONS, and not around. There are just a lot more good and sympathetic people around. And how practically healthy man and not being rich-famous-great, I almost never encounter rudeness when living in Russia, and unlike you, I don’t need to read for this. newspapers to understand the specifics of life in this country.
But a sick child/adult becomes very vulnerable and dependent on the tyranny of institutions (medical and social).
Example:
We need to make an appointment with a doctor at the hospital we are assigned to. It’s impossible to get through by phone; none of the mothers I know have been able to do so yet. This means you have to travel through the whole of Moscow, back and forth for 3 hours. For healthy people this is not a problem. And for mothers, if she is alone and the child is not walking. This means traveling with a child, carrying him or hiring someone. Admission to work time es-but. So my husband went. When he arrived, he was told that the appointment was only for May. He says okay, sign it up for May. They: “For May there is an entry from tomorrow. Come tomorrow." That's it, the conversation is over. And this is the case almost everywhere in institutions.
Doctor: “You must go to our hospital every 4 months for rehabilitation.” Going to their hospital means collecting a bunch of tests and going through all the doctors, right down to the dentist. Place the child in the stroller and forward over the snowdrifts and boulders. I am silent that we still have the 5th floor without an elevator. A blood test from a vein in our clinic - only 5 tubes per week for everyone. And they won’t admit you to the hospital if you signed on some certificate incorrectly or in a different ink. Those. either make a scandal or take a bribe. Plus, this means I will have to be in the hospital almost all day, washing floors, caring for other children... I ask: “What does rehabilitation consist of?” He: “Electrophoresis, exercise therapy, magnetic therapy and massage.” I told him: “We can do all this on an outpatient basis.” He, almost throwing the card in my face: “Then we relieve ourselves of all responsibility for your treatment, how will the nurses in the clinic do electrophoresis, I don’t know, but I’m sure of my own !
We were in their hospital once. Every day there is a round and examination of the child. On the third (!) day of the round, the doctor noticed a scar after the operation and asked “What is this?” I told her that there was an operation and what kind. Those. she didn't even look at the child's chart! And the child has been undergoing the procedures she prescribed for three days now!
In the card for disability rehabilitation we have written about going to this particular medical institution. And we decided not to go there anymore. And I don’t know what they will tell us at the next medical examination on disability, because... we avoid undergoing treatment at an attached institution and undergo rehabilitation abroad every 4 months (yeah, money again).
This is just a small piece from our life. Yes, and between all this we must manage to earn money. Would there be such problems if the child was healthy?! It seems to me - no. 04/09/2009 11:19:57,
Why adopt a child? How do children who have been abandoned by their adoptive parents feel? Who adopts disabled children? Interview with a specialist from the service for training and support of foster families.

There are only 4 schools of foster parents in St. Petersburg, but experts say that this is already good, since there are relatively few specialists in this field. The leading specialist of the service for training and support of foster families of the North-Western charitable foundation for helping children without parental care, “Children are Waiting,” talks about how specialists work with the motivations of candidates for adoptive parents and other nuances. Tatiana Dorofeeva.
– The less time spent training foster parents, the more varied the results can be. Committee on social policy St. Petersburg determines the maximum period of study, as well as the period from the moment a person submits an application to the guardianship and trusteeship authorities, during which he must apply to the school of foster parents.
But from the moment a foster parent contacts a school, it may take a year before a person takes the child. It's like being pregnant. The candidate preparation period ranges from six months to 9 months. No matter how much a person wants to adopt a foster child, he must create a space where this child can fit - both emotionally and socially.
For example, people need to think about how they will work - after all, a child will greatly change their lifestyle. Emotional condition Adoptive parents should also not interfere with the child’s adaptation. So the school for foster parents is a process of learning about themselves for them.
We provide psychological counseling. If a candidate needs psychotherapeutic work, then that is carried out. This applies to people experiencing loss - either the death of relatives, or a change of place of residence, and people who have other serious psychological disorders, for example, abnormal age-related crises. But for psychotherapy there must be a request - a person must be ready for it. If in progress psychological counseling family, a person with some difficulties is identified who is ready to work, then psychotherapy is possible.
– Is changing your place of residence also a loss?
– People sometimes have difficulty adapting to a new place, and adopting a child can be a way to get rid of loneliness. Even if a family moves, it needs a new circle of acquaintances, new activities.
– Is such motivation as trying to survive some kind of loss in this way bad?
– Trying to replace someone is not constructive motivation. Substitution is destructive for both the child and the adoptive parent. In this case, the adoptive parent does not have the strength to hear the real needs of a particular child - he hears mainly his own needs. And then he is not an effective parent - absent-minded, inattentive, stressed. He wants to be a very good parent, but he doesn't have the resources to do so.
There is also this myth among candidates for adoptive parents: it is supposedly good when the child is an orphan whose parents died, for example, in a car accident, that in this case he will adapt better to the adoptive family. But these are the most difficult children, because they loved their natural parents very much, and when they end up in a foster family, they don’t need anyone for a long time. There are few such children in orphanages; more often they are taken in by other members of their blood family.
Creative, constructive motivation is when someone wants not to take, but to give, when someone wants to help a child. For example, some mothers stay at home and are ready to raise many children - they like it, they succeed. Or when a husband and wife get along well with each other, but cannot have their own biological children, but want to experience parental feelings and want to raise a child.
We tell parents: “A child is a separate being who does not belong to you completely, he is given to you for a while.” Parents themselves undergo preliminary tests for the intended type of upbringing, and we then discuss the results of this testing with them individually - this is how they understand their weak points.
– There are cases when childless couples come to the school of foster parents and after psychological or psychotherapeutic work they have their own biological children. Do such couples still take in adopted children? Or do they abandon this intention?
– Yes, we get pregnant after every training. Because worries are relieved, people begin to think more about their lives. And we support any positive changes. Sometimes in such cases people give up their intention to adopt an adopted child, but this is also a good result - after all, they have their own child.
However, the topic of orphans continues to excite many of them; such couples are very good volunteers, they help children in a targeted, specific manner, without expecting gratitude from the children. Some of them then take in adopted children - a few years later, when their own children are already grown up.
– Do you formulate the main tasks of your school?
– The task of our candidates: learn to build long-term, accepting, honest relationships in the family, including with the child. We have principles on which we build our education - how we understand the harmonious upbringing of a child. These principles are based on humanistic approach to personality development.
Firstly, this principle of hope- the fact that a person already contains everything that is wonderful in him. No one can radically change anyone, we can only contribute to the manifestation of certain traits and combine them with our own traits. Every person has something precious. We encourage both parents and children to explore themselves and find their strengths and weak sides, learn to explain to others about your weaknesses, and grow your strengths and combine them with the world.
No doctor will point a finger - this is good, this is bad, you will have to study this yourself. You can consult with specialists, but you will have to do the work yourself.
Secondly, this principle of balance in the world. We do not proceed from absolute concepts of good and evil, but from specific family rules, and we say that equal attention should be paid to four aspects of personality: psychological, biological, spiritual and social.
That is, parents must take care of the child’s emotions, his inner world, his communication with other people, his games or other activities, and his health. And they should also pay attention to these aspects of their lives. That is, it is a person-oriented approach.
And thirdly, the principle of family as a system. A family is a dynamic entity that lives its own life, but is influenced by external factors. Some parents have the idea that someday some kind of stability, some kind of peace will come. We debunk this myth - I immediately tell candidates who come to us: “Today you are leaving your comfort zone.” Because in reality there is always dynamics, something is always happening. In general, something always happens to any person.
And healthy predictability appears when there is specificity: on the one hand, something is happening, on the other hand, we have a developed type of behavior. And no matter what happens in the family, everything is subject to consideration, and some useful conclusions can be drawn from everything.
- Do you think that family relationships can’t be viewed through the prism of someone’s guilt?
– Yes, we are not looking for those to blame, we are looking at the situation, looking at what everyone can do to correct it or somehow resolve it. Of course, we are trying to understand the reasons for what is happening, but main reason problems: someone did not understand someone, there is a wrong message.
There is such a common term - “green light”: someone did something, and in our minds “the green light came on,” that is, we came up with an explanation for the other person’s action, which has nothing to do with his motives. Therefore, we try to ensure that people's messages are clear, so that people learn not to think for others.
Any family member can contact me or other specialists at our school with a request to talk - not to give advice, but to talk. Why am I for long-term and sincere relationships? If something happens, I encourage both parents and children to talk about it - how we feel, what we will do with these feelings, how we will show them.
“Isn’t it obvious that we need to talk about this?”
– It's not obvious. There are long-term, but insincere family relationships. Most people here do not know how to realize their feelings. There is such a term in psychology - alexithymia. This is when a person feels, but cannot express his feelings in words, and, accordingly, it is difficult for him to understand what the other person is feeling. That is, it is such an obsession with oneself. That’s why there are so many trainings for developing emotional intelligence now.
– But a person who talks about his feelings can also be fixated on himself.
– Certainly. And if we find out this about one of our candidates, we draw his attention to this, find out why he talks only about himself and cannot listen to others. But the main problem of children is that they are not aware and cannot express their feelings. And the adult must, firstly, set an example for the child, and secondly, let him understand that he will accept him with any emotions and will help him do something with them.
For example, a child might say, “I’m angry.” The adult tells him: “Let's think about where this anger came from, what to do with it, how to express it so that no one is hurt.”
We do not make a fundamental difference between an ordinary family, where there are parents and their natural children, and a family where there are adopted children. But our candidates receive additional knowledge about the characteristics of adopted children, about how an adopted child will differ from their natural one. And candidates get the opportunity to measure their resources, think about whether they can adapt this child.
An adopted child is much less aware of his emotions and needs. Because of this, his behavior is disturbed, because of this he can put his life in danger, because of this he is scared, because of this he changes the whole life of his family. I myself have an adopted child, and I try to help him. My natural children ask: “Will it be better someday?” I answer: “I don’t know. He can do it any way he can."
– People also come to you who didn’t just want to take some child from orphanage, and who already have a history of relationships with a specific child.
– Happens. We are studying the history of this relationship. If conditions permit, I get to know the child and the staff of the institution where he is located. We look at the situation and decide what is best for the child.
If for some reason the adult who contacts us still cannot become the adoptive parent of this child, then he can become his assistant - a tutor, a volunteer... And at the same time, a family will still be found for this child. Everything is very individual; it cannot be said that there are any universal schemes. A lot depends on the personal growth of the candidate, which occurs during classes at the school of foster parents: people are either ready to change a lot in their lives, or they realize that they are not ready and abandon their intention. And we believe that this is also a good result. That is, it is important that the relationship is minimally traumatic for the child and as understandable as possible for the adult.
– What do you do if adoptive parents contact you who want to give up their child?
– We invite the whole family, look at the child, find out from the parents what is happening - so that the child can hear. Most often, some positive stories, we turn to this positive and begin to grow it. Most often, this desire is a cry from the heart, and after our work, real refusal may not happen.
Even if a refusal occurs, before that we work with people for three months. If this appeal was simply a consequence of fatigue, then such work brings great benefit the child, because he is not scolded, and a huge benefit to the parents, because they are not scolded either, each family member receives support.
Refusals still happen. Last year there was a case when a couple abandoned their child - for three months we could not find anything to unite them. The child again ended up in an orphanage, but not so traumatized, since he received support while working with us, and the adults realized their true motives and continue to communicate with him.
Yes, it was a painful experience for everyone involved in the situation, but it was not as destructive for them as it could have been. I also work in orphanages and I can say that children after a second refusal are often very lenient towards their failed adoptive parents, saying: “Well, it didn’t work out.” Of course, it is then very difficult for them to go to another family again, but some overcome this story and go, some do not go for some time - and this is understandable.
– Do you keep in touch with those who went through your school and have already adopted a foster child?
– Yes, we provide full support from the moment candidates first contact us until the child reaches adulthood. We discuss all issues with people - both at the stage of searching for a child, and when people take him from the institution, and during the period of his adaptation. There are difficult periods in life, there are regulatory crises. But many of our parents are understanding people, and they turn to us and say: “We understand what is happening, but we want to check if everything is so.”
Our school has been operating relatively recently - since March 2015, and we already have 24 families who have taken children. And children are very different - from babies to 16-year-old teenagers. And adoptive parents no longer ask us primary questions; they understand the situation well.
– It’s more difficult with teenagers, including because they may still have ties with their biological parents...
– We are working with it. I can go to any institution and, after agreeing with the specialists of this institution and with the parents of the teenager, having signed an agreement with them, get to know the young man, the situation and find out from the candidate for adoptive parents whether he is ready to support the child in his communication with blood relatives.
Most often, people are ready for this - they understand that this is a person’s story and treat it with respect. It is very important for a child when his adoptive parents accept his birth parents. And we had no cases of defection from one camp to another.
If a child himself does not want to go to a foster family, explaining that he loves his natural mom and dad, our candidates understand this and do not try to convince him.
– If a candidate comes to you and says that he wants to adopt a child with a disability, what then?
– carried out with him individual work. We already have several families who have taken in disabled children. We interact with them regularly and draw up individual plans for each child. rehabilitation programs. And for a candidate who declares a desire to take in a child with a disability, we offer to meet with parents who already have such experience.
These meetings take place in forms that are convenient for people and do not violate their boundaries. But sometimes we go to someone’s home, both to candidates and to established adoptive families. Talk about possible consequences, look at the available resources. After all, it’s one thing when disabled children are small and they are raised by people who are not yet old, but it’s another thing when these children grow up and their parents are no longer with them. This means that there must be someone in the family who is ready to accompany them further. Therefore, for example, with single women who want to take in disabled children, special measures are taken long work to study their resources.
– And many who wish to take in a disabled child abandon this intention after your trainings?
– As a rule, only very reasonable, sober-minded people take in disabled children. Some of them already have relevant experience. For example, we have a woman whose own child is complex, and she also took in an adopted child with the same diagnosis. And they have a large family, the adopted child is doing well. These are also people who have worked or are working in relevant institutions and have a good understanding of the issues.
– Among those who do not have such experience, but who still want to take in a disabled child, how many people have mythologized ideas about certain diagnoses?
– No. Still, more often than not, knowledgeable people take on such a complex task. In addition to parents who already have experience raising their disabled children, these are either social workers or psychologists.
Yes, there are people who say: “I want to save...” But in the first or second lesson on motivation, they understand that they can only save themselves by assessing their real capabilities.
We cultivate acceptance, humility and the ability to take time in a person. When raising a disabled child, it is important to understand and accept the situation, understand the pace of his development and respect his boundaries - so that the child understands that if he does this, this and that will happen.
This is important with any child, but with a disabled person this should be expressed especially clearly, because if these boundaries are not established, the disabled person can set back development.
For example, there should be a rule: “You can’t hit your mother.” You should never allow a child to hit his mother, even if he is disabled. Parents must have a certain line of behavior - the clearer the parent’s behavior, the clearer he behaves, the more reliable he is, the easier it is for a disabled child.
In a safe environment, it is easier for any child to develop. In our classes, we even rehearse some moments - I portray different children, candidates for adoptive parents act out their reaction to their behavior. During the game it becomes clear how difficult all this is even in a simulated situation.
A disabled child has a hard time with changes. Therefore, we warn that, after taking a child from an orphanage, parents should stay at home with him for some time and not immediately go south or somewhere else. We try to cover everything that could worsen the child’s adaptation. I always tell parents: “You can ask any question, even if it seems very stupid.” Sometimes a very stupid question leads to a very detailed and important answer.
If guardianship officials identify non-compliance with the established requirements, they will issue a written refusal, which, in case of disagreement, can be appealed in court. Searching for a child If guardianship has issued a positive conclusion, then citizens can begin searching for the child using a single electronic database located at: http://www.usynovite.ru/db/?p=3&last-search. After a child has been selected, citizens must again apply for guardianship and obtain permission to visit him. The validity period of permission to visit a child is 10 days - if the allotted time is missed, the procedure will have to be repeated again. As part of the permit, the adoptive parent has the right to meet and communicate with the child, as well as familiarize himself with his medical documentation.

Training of future adoptive parents In 2012, training was included in the list of mandatory requirements for adoptive parents. But there are exceptions to this rule. Thus, in accordance with the law, the following have the right not to undergo training:
- Citizens who are close relatives of the child whose adoption is required.
Close relatives include: sisters, brothers, grandparents.
- Persons who have previously adopted a child. That is, if citizens have already become adoptive parents, then they do not need to undergo training.
All other citizens must undergo training, which is provided free of charge in some localities and paid for in others.
As a rule, the list of places where you can undergo training can be clarified with the guardianship authorities.

The procedure for adoption from an orphanage: requirements for adoptive parents, documents
Important
The applicant’s identity has been established, his legal capacity has been verified, and his signature has been certified. "17" March 2018 The head of the guardianship and trusteeship authority at the place of adoption of the child is Lyubentseva Veronika Grigorievna (signature).
Also, when accepting a child into a family (if he is under 10 years old), a notarized consent to adoption is required from the blood parents, but some difficulties may arise if:
- parents are missing or died;
- incapacitated;
- deprived of parental rights.
Determination of the child's last name, first name and patronymic. A change of the child's last name, first name and patronymic can occur if the adoptive parents wish to change the birth certificate at the Registry Office. This procedure implies the secret of adoption. But if there is no such desire, the adopted son or daughter can remain in their last name.
A child will not be transferred to a family if:
- this will be contrary to the child’s wishes, create a threat to his life, health, and violate his rights and interests;
- It turns out that the child’s parent, deprived of parental rights, lives with the citizen who took the child “on a visit.”
The total period of stay cannot be more than three months. In some cases it is extended to six months. If the child’s biological parents were unable for some reason to properly fulfill their obligations, this can be done by adoptive parents, guardians or foster parents.
But both candidates for adoptive parents and guardians must understand that a new family member is a responsibility, it is forever. They will have all the same responsibilities as the biological family.
Who can be adopted According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, an orphan from 0 to 18 years old can be adopted. A child can be adopted:
- From the previous marriage of the spouse. If there is a desire to take on all the rights and responsibilities of a full-fledged parent. But care should be taken to obtain consent from the biological father.
- From the baby's home.
Baby aged 0-3 years.
- From an orphanage, aged 3-18 years.
- Newborn. The procedure for adopting a child from a maternity hospital is actually no different from adopting a child from an orphanage or baby home.
Who can become an adoptive parent Many people want to take an orphan into a family, but not all citizens are given the right to adoption, since there are a number of requirements and nuances that candidates must take into account.
To obtain parental rights to a child, you will need to: mandatory adopt him. This procedure usually takes a short amount of time, but its implementation will require quite a lot of different documents. It is carried out only with the consent of the guardianship and trusteeship authorities.
Dear readers! The article talks about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to know how solve exactly your problem- contact a consultant:
APPLICATIONS AND CALLS ARE ACCEPTED 24/7 and 7 days a week.

Basic moments
The adoption procedure is an act of great legal importance, carried out in court. Its implementation leads to many different consequences.
Therefore, before deciding to take such a crucial step, it is necessary to study them all in as much detail as possible.
At the same time, in accordance with the current legislation in the territory Russian Federation According to the law, the adoption procedure can only be carried out in relation to minors, regardless of other factors (, other).
The adoption procedure itself is carried out in court only if there is a package of relevant documents, which must necessarily include from the future parent.
The procedure itself is carried out in a special proceeding, according to the relevant rules of civil procedural proceedings.
You should first familiarize yourself with the following important questions:
- What it is?
- Where to contact?
What it is
The term adoption refers to some form of family education of children who, for some reason, were previously under the care of their natural parents.
One of the most important features this kind of procedure is that after its implementation between adopted child, as well as his adoptive parent, legal relationships arise that are regulated by the Family Code of the Russian Federation.
Selection of candidates
Before implementing the adoption procedure, it will be necessary to select an appropriate candidate.
If for some reason there is no nearby institution where orphans are raised, then persons wishing to adopt a child can receive an appropriate referral to institutions of this type located in another region.
Trial
According to the legislation in force in the Russian Federation, legal proceedings related to the adoption of children with hearing disabilities are carried out in a special manner.
This point is regulated by Federal Law. The main positive point in this case is the shortest possible time allotted to the court to make any specific decision. Therefore, in some cases, it is possible to adopt a child within just one month.
The final stage
After the court has made the appropriate decision on adoption, it is mandatory to carry out state registration of this action. To do this, you will need to contact the registry office with a written or oral appeal.
In addition to the application itself, the following mandatory documents must be submitted to the state registration authorities:
It should be remembered that if for some reason the adoptive parents did not independently provide the corresponding court decision to the registry office, state registration is carried out on the basis of this document, but transmitted by the judicial authority itself by mail.
Main nuances
It must be remembered that it is extremely difficult to implement, for this it will again be necessary to initiate legal proceedings.
If the corresponding court ruling was nevertheless made, then the birth certificate is canceled and a new one is issued. Also, civil registry office employees do not have the right to reveal the secret of adoption without the consent of the adoptive parents themselves.
What are the payments for adopting a disabled child?
When adopting a disabled child, his adoptive parents are entitled to the following payments:
The complexity of the procedure if children have Down syndrome
In some special cases, difficulties may arise. For example, if a child has Down syndrome.
Difficulties arise from the following points:
- Not every such child is recognized as capable.
- Irreversibility of this genetic change.
- Short life expectancy.
Not everyone is recognized as legally competent
The issue of recognizing the legal capacity of a child with Down syndrome is usually resolved only by the age of 16-18. Since only at this age a person has already been psychologically formed, he has the right to perform various kinds of important legal actions.
In each individual case, recognition of the legal capacity of a person with Down syndrome is a specific process, and therefore can cause some difficulties during adoption.
Irreversibility
Last update 09/07/2019
The state encourages citizens to adopt, guardianship and trusteeship of orphans. All three concepts are similar in meaning, but have different registration procedures and different federal and regional payments.
Responsibilities of foster parents and guardians:
- provide the child financially: clothes, toys, and other necessary things;
- create conditions for receiving education;
- create comfortable living conditions;
- monitor the health of the person under care, develop his moral qualities;

Alimony for an adopted child
There are three types of adoption:

- If the natural parent was deprived of parental rights, but the mother/father starts a family again, then the new spouse can adopt the child.
- If one of the parents has died, but the mother/father is starting a family again, then the new spouse can become a stepparent.
In the event of divorce or loss of parental rights, adoptive parents must pay child support for the adopted child until he reaches adulthood. Since after the adoption is formalized, the adoptive parents/parent acquire the same responsibilities as the natural parents/parent and cannot refuse child support.

- for two - 33% of total income;
- for three or more - 50% of total income.
