The story of the foster sister’s adoption of triplets shows how much abandoned children can develop with care and love.

Alina is the adoptive mother of three one-and-a-half-year-old children, triplets, whom she adopted one after the other: first girls, then boys. Children who were abandoned shortly after birth remained in the care of the state and were transferred to other guardians. They reunited in the house of Alina, who gave up the status of mother’s assistant and became their mother.

Two years after completing foster care tutor courses, Alina received a call from the Office of Child Protection to meet with two abandoned 10-month-old twin girls who were looking for a foster tutor. He learned that their mother, a 33-year-old woman, had given birth to triplets, spent some time with them in the maternity hospital, and then left them and went home, where eight more children were waiting for her.

Little girls separated from their brother

After 10 months spent by the three in the center of the Office of Child Protection, the babies were handed over to foster families. Since there were no certified professional assistants for the three children in the system, the girls were assigned to Alina, and the boy went to another home.

When she took the 10-month-old girls home, they weighed just over 6.5 pounds each, were unresponsive to stimuli, rocked constantly, and had a host of allergies and respiratory problems. Due to allergies that caused itching, the girls could not sleep at night, so they were given sedatives at the center.

Adaptation in the new family was not easy, because the girls were often sick, from simple viruses to bronchitis and pneumonia, which did not go away without antibiotics.
