Adopting a foster child is not an easy decision. The situation is even more complicated if the adoptive parent is an unmarried man, and on top of that, he is also a student. The story of Yuri Zinchuk proves that nothing is impossible, and if you have already met “your” child in life, you must certainly fight for him. Even if it is fraught with condemnation and sidelong glances, or even with expulsion from the university or dismissal.
Yuri Zinchuk spent his childhood and youth in a village near Donetsk. When the time came to think about his future career, he made plans to study at VGIK and become filmmakers. True, fate decreed otherwise: instead of theatrical, he found himself in a medical school, where the recruitment of students was just going. There were not enough applicants, so they took everyone, even those who had low marks in the school certificate.
Studying was easy for Yuri, he did an internship with interest in the children's department at the hospital, until he began to notice that one of the kids was clearly showing him a special favor. A boy named Seryozha was being treated in a ward with other refusenik children, and Yuri, despite the fact that he himself was a 16-year-old boy, decided to become a father to him by all means. He asked his own mother to engage in adoption, but the plan failed: it was not possible to obtain the consent of his father.
It should be said separately that Yuri's father led an asocial lifestyle. Once injured while working as a miner, he finally gave up on himself and gradually turned into an alcoholic. When he was sent for treatment, Yuri's family moved to the Magadan region, here in the North, his knowledge was useful like nowhere else. In the village where Yuri settled, there were not enough doctors, he chose the position of a doctor in a kindergarten (his love for children made itself felt) and additionally worked as an orderly in a rural hospital.
Yuri entered the Khabarovsk Institute with a degree in obstetrics, worried that, unfortunately, in addition to theory, there was no practice, until one day he had to give birth at his workplace. It is admitted that at that moment it was scary, but the process of the birth of a new life so fascinated him that he determined for himself a future profession. And he succeeded. Yuri worked as an obstetrician for many years and even adopted his future adopted son.
It just so happened that one of the women in labor abandoned the baby, escaping from the hospital. Yuri decided to become his father by all means. To do this, he consulted with a lawyer, suggested the would-be mother to conclude a fictitious marriage and divorce immediately, leaving the child to his father. This act was supported by friends and relatives, but at the university persecution began for this. Inspectors constantly came to Yuri's dormitory, monitored the conditions in which the baby was, but there was no reason to make comments. They tried to accuse him even of stealing a child, they wanted to apply for expulsion from the university, but Yuri was always ready to present documents that smashed all the charges to smithereens.
When it became clear that Yuri was doing an excellent job with the role of a young father, they even started talking about him in the press. Reports and interviews from Khabarovsk, where the single dad lives, were published by many Soviet newspapers and magazines. Soon a girl appeared next to Yuri, who was ready to take on the role of a mother. Seeing the caring foster father, she herself offered to get married, and the news of Yuri's return to the institute with a wedding ring on her finger became a real sensation.
Yuri adopted his second son many years later, when he and his family had already moved back to the Donetsk region. By that time, in addition to the adopted son of Bogdan, their own children appeared in the family - son Ruslan and daughter Sonya. Yuri went headlong into work, was engaged in the arrangement of the outpatient clinic. Once he had to get a call to a dysfunctional family, which became a victim of black realtors, lost an apartment. In this family, Yuri met a teenage boy whose eyes immediately reminded him of the very baby whose adoption had to be abandoned many years ago. The guy was ready to make contact, and it soon became clear that Yuri would do everything to take him from his alcoholic parents to his home. And the boys were worried about the safety, as the police started looking for black realtors and soon followed their trail.
With his second adopted son Sasha, Yuri had a difficult relationship. As an adult, Sasha tried to leave his new family and live for his own pleasure, his father even somehow had to flog him. True, this method worked: the guy realized that he was not indifferent to the people who take care of him from day to day.
Now Yuri Zinchuk lives in Kiev with his family. He is happy that he was once not afraid to take responsibility for the upbringing of adopted sons. Helping others is his calling. He follows this rule constantly both in work and in life, and for this he received an award - a strong and friendly family.
The family-record holder for the number of adopted children in Russia is the Sorokins. In their house 74 foster children and a sea of love.

What the Soviet Chukchi and American Eskimos did not share in 1947 and how they almost fanned the conflict between the USSR and the USA
Most anthropological scientists agree that the inhabitants of the North, the Eskimos and the Chukchi, belong to the same race - the so-called Arctic. Those who hold a different opinion cannot but agree that over the long history of the northern peoples there has been such a close interpenetration of ethnic groups that they have actually become relatives. And yet, despite such close ties, the indigenous population of Soviet Chukotka and American Alaska was constantly at odds with
