A Chip in the Heart

Oksana Dmitrova is a mother of many children, a guardian of the charitable foundation "You are Needed by Him," the author of the column about orphaned children #OneOnOneOnThePlanet, and the author of a blog with 500,000 subscribers. "A Chip in the Heart" is a book dedicated to the theme of the family in which an adopted child grows up. The family also has two biological children. However, for the parents, there is no distinction between their own and adopted children. The author has long been maintaining her blog, where she talks in detail about the problems faced by orphaned children. Her own experience of adoptive parenting is described in "The Diary of an Adoptive Mother" with disarming honesty, without downplaying the difficult life situations and the pitfalls encountered on this challenging path. The book will be interesting and useful not only for adoptive parents but for everyone who raises children in families, in children's institutions, and those who wish to assist orphanages. This book is for all compassionate people who are concerned about the issues of raising and developing orphaned children, as well as the problems of relationships between children and parents.
