Children German mom looking for Russian parents

German journalist Goedicke Marion (Marion Gaedicke) and her husband was adopted at Russia two girls. About what the circles of hell they were before becoming parents, Marion wrote the book.

Orphans in Germany in short supply. On the one left behind child, there are ten infertile couples who dream of its adoption. In addition, laws on adoption are very strict and in different federal states of the country - different. In Bavaria, for example, each spouse must be no older than 41 years, otherwise not allowed to adopt. Husband, Marion Gedike was already 43. Therefore, only the one chance - go for the child abroad.

children fully, take another

But first, it was necessary to have patience. Registration process market is very laborious. Couple appealed to the Office of Children and Youth Affairs, and within a year would come in endless consultations and interviews. For this time they have collected an incredible amount of required documents.

His children in Marion and her husband do not. She was treated for a long time, trying to reach out to help IVF - all in vain. And then came from Karelia envelope with pictures 9-month-old Nina. A child from an orphanage Petrozavodsk "Freeze" Munich for a couple, Marion and her husband went to Karelia.

The couple spent with Nina in the orphanage for three weeks. Later, during the trial revealed that by Nina already rejected six pairs from Russia, who also wanted to adopt her baby. Refused because it lags behind in development. From Marion is hidden. Except addition, it was found that the documents Nina wrong: somewhere lost of abandoned piece of paper from her own mother. The judge mumbled monotone text of the decision Court and its justification, and before the interpreter had translated into German, Marion dismantled verdict: fail. Officials shrugged indifferently: Children is complete, take another.

From Russia - with a child

But Nina had already had their baby - is not on the documents in a sense. Hence, for it had to be fought. Marion My husband and I filed an application for adoption for the other orphans, and at the same time - an appeal to the Supreme Court of Russia. As a result, six months later painful expectations was made just two positive solutions, ie Marion could take both girls.

"What a joy it was when we all four got into the night Moscow train, - says Marion. - We kept the children on their knees, and they looked around wide-eyed, because until then nothing but the walls of the orphanage, not seen. "

Marion Goedicke grew up in East Germany, taught Russian at school, so chose Russia. Incidentally, Russia accounts for almost half of the "foreign" adoptions in Germany. Acquainted with his daughter on Christmas, and Marion carefully picked affectionate Russian words. And after coming back from the orphanage each day, at night wonk-specific terms to understand, explain to her that officials in the courts. "It was a trip to my gedeerovskoe past - she admits. - Officials and GDD, and in today's Russia decide depending on my mood, without any logic. "

Sisters, the Russian soul

my sister 10 and 11 years, and they do not resemble each other outwardly. Girls are very funny surprise adults when, for example, in a doctor's office suddenly becomes clear that the date of their birth differ by only six months. They are well aware of the history of its adoption and no one it does not hide. Marion believes that in such an important issue deceive children in any case impossible. When they grow up, she will give them a book. And now she and her husband are trying to make the girls loved a country in which they were born. "The Russian origin - is part of the lives of my daughters and I am very glad that they are interested in Russia - emphasizes Marion. - In the coming Easter holidays, we'll go for a week in St. Petersburg, and on weekends we go to watch a documentary on Russia. "

One girl even written to give them letters to mothers, put their pictures there, pictures, and sent to Karelia. But the letter never reached: one came back, the second got lost on the road. But Marion still hopes: she was confident that once the children themselves want to see their biological mothers, so they definitely need to give this chance. "If they wanted to, I would have invited them to visit in Munich," - says Marion.

Marion and her husband still have parents. That's just instead of the Nature Marion waited nine months of its subsidiaries for two years: so much has passed since that day, as requested an official statement, and before the night when the four of them boarded the night train Petrozavodsk-Moscow. And it is relatively fast: paperwork often takes four to five years. These two years Marion kept a diary, just so for themselves. Then he came out of a book that was published under the title "Kinderwunschzentrum. History of Adoption. "

But in fact, is the story - not about adoption. This is a story about love. Because you want the children born of love. Even against nature.
