A Russian couple could not become biological parents – but with 28 adoptive kids they do feel happy. And, more importantly, the children feel loved and cared for.
peter Russia has lots of resources- these resources belong the people; there are millions of Russian children who need loving homes and care. In my view, the best help for this family is that the state supports low-income families with children. Russia needs these children and there must be a concrete plan to support Russia’s children from poor families. Hand-outs is not the way to go- but I agree that this family can use all the support it can get . I also share you feeling: So God bless Lyubov Shmidov and her family of 28 children. I would like to also thank RT for promoting heartwarming stories such as this one.
peter i was just about to post the same thing. i'd love to help this wonderful family. people in russia are so caught up in their own survival, that it leaves little chance to the abandoned children. the government can only do so much. what a travesty to see a child suffer, please don't turn a blind eye and be a human first of all.
Sarah, The millions of russian children will die of hunger and neglect 3 times before the government turn around to do something. it is OUR responsibility totake care of a person suffering next to us, we shouldnt wait for the big government machine. It is true whether it is in the US or Russia, i've lived in both places, there are homeless and people struggling with misfortune. If you have a homless shelter and shelter for abused women and children, dont wait for anyone, just go there and talk to them, offer something you might have, doesnt have to be monetary, maybe something you can teach or make. dont ever forget that when you eat, someone is starving; when you are warm, someone is freezing; you never know when it is YOur turn. never be satisfied until you know you've done everything you could to better someone else's life who wouldn't make it otherwise. don't wait! think how urgent it would have been if it was your own child...

Iana Please do not get me wrong. I support these children and all children . I am deeply dedicated to helping others. However, Russia has a much resources as Russia- it is beyond shame that the nation's children are not well cared for. This is the right of all Russian children not a privilege.










God bless Lyubov Shmidova and her family of 28 children. Can someone from RT send me on my email bank accout details from Lyubov Shmidova for money transfer so I can donate bit of money?
