Karen is the older, biological sister of Chrystyna. She is a beautiful Roma girl with dark hair, dark eyes, and olive skin. She is 16 years old. She is healthy and smart and has no diagnosed special needs. She goes to school and has no negative behavioral issues. She is just a teen in need of a loving family!
Karen and Chrystyna are living in different orphanages, but in the same region. It would only be possible for Karen to be adopted WITH her younger sister. Due to her age, she can not be adopted on her own.
If you might be seeking a sibling set, please inquire! Both girls need a loving family!
Girl, Born January 17, 2002
SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!
Chrystyna is a beautiful, brown haired, brown eyed girl who deserves a chance at a better life! Her official orphanage papers say she has developmental delays/difficulties from birth, but nothing more specific than that. It is possible she has FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome). Her biological mother was deprived her parental rights in December 2004, and the biological father is not known. Chrystyna has so much potential, and will be a precious gift to any family who adopts her.
Chrystyna is already living in an institution, so we need a family for her right away!
Chrystyna does have a sister, Karen. Karen does not have any diagnosed special needs. If you are interested in adopting both girls, you can do so, or Chrystyna is free to be adopted separately. Please inquire!
UPDATE: God has been watching Chrystyna. She was recently transferred out of the institution into a wonderful facility, where they teach these children, work with them, and they appear very well cared for. The difference in the few girls who were transferred OUT of the institution is incredible! Please give these girls a second chance for a loving family!
If you are unfamiliar with FAS, please spend some time researching this condition. Just as with Down syndrome, FAS and FAE have a wide variation of effects on each child, both medically, physically, and cognitively. This is typically dependent on how long during the pregnancy the mother consumed alcohol, and of course, how much. There is no way to know this ahead of time.

Carissa is blind in both eyes — retinopathia and vessell changes (due to prematuaty); Intellectual delay, Flat feet.
Carissa and her twin sister were in an orphanage from birth, until their aunt took them into her home. They did not receive the medical care they needed, and Carissa lost her vision. After three years, when they became 6 years old, the girls were taken back to an orphanage.
Unfortunately, the girls were separated in different orphanages due to Carissa’s blindness, and her sister was adopted. Carissa is well cared for in her internat, but she was very lonely without her sister. That is why she was placed in intensive care unit. The girl was in a deep psycological shock – she was separated from her sister, the only person she had and placed to unknown people. She was scared, and she regressed. In internat they thought that Khistina can not move and talk. She was diagnosed with deep mental retardation. Before going to the internat she was walking by the hand, reacted to outside world and recognised people. Not only did she talk, but she was singing! Now she had no motivation to sing, to move, to talk. The girl refused food. During four months in internat she literally become a skeleton.
Several kids from that internat were brought to a major city for medical help. Carissa started eating better and sitting up. She could not walk, her feets were very weak. This girl needs care and attention, and will blossom in a family.
