Today, the Executive Committee of the Lviv City Council decided to establish another foster family in the Lviv community. The boy, who will soon turn 12, will have parents, a sister, a brother and a home.
The Department of Children’s Services of the Lviv City Council said that until now the boy had been living in the Ridni center for social support for children and families.
“We are happy because he is a teenage boy. Children of this age are less willing to be adopted. Candidates are eager to take in kids. Every time we explain how cool the teenagers are and how much they need a family and a home,” says Volodymyr Fridrak, head of the Service for Children department.
This foster family is the 17th in the Lviv community. There are also 12 family-type children’s homes where 81 orphans and children deprived of parental care are being brought up.
Those wishing to give children the warmth of family are invited to contact the Department of Children’s Services of the Lviv City Council by phone: +38 (032) 297-58-83.
