Tatyana Ovsienko In 1999, the popular singer took from orphanage a boy named Igor. She saw him during a charity event in Penza. And when I found out that the boy had a heart defect, I decided to help him and pay for the operation. A little later she became his mother. For many years, Tatyana hid from Igor the fact that she was not his own mother. Revealed the truth foster father, ex-husband singers, producer Vladimir Dubovitsky. The guy was shocked. But then, after talking with my mother, I was able to cope with my emotions. Recently, Igor, who now lives in the States, became a father himself - and thus made Tatyana Ovsienko a grandmother. - A wonderful event, now there is another little bundle of love in my heart. The fact that now I’m a grandmother doesn’t frighten me at all,” the singer admitted.

Svetlana Sorokina In 2003, the famous TV presenter adopted an 11-month-old girl. “I found my daughter, one might say, by accident,” Svetlana said in an interview. - A friend brought a child to the house, where she had taken a girl a little earlier. She brought it with the words: “And you will find your happiness here.” And so it happened. I saw Tonka and realized: I don’t want to look for anyone else...” Sorokina did not hide the fact that the girl was adopted - with her profession this is unrealistic. But at the same time she changed everything - both her date of birth and her first and patronymic name. She named her daughter Antonina in honor of her grandmother.

Anastasia did not see her father for a long time, but when it became known that he was seriously ill, the family began to communicate again. “That day, my father, as always calm and reasonable, said: “I will soon be gone. It is unknown how long my wife will live; she is very sick. Promise me that if Andryusha is left alone, you will take care of him,” Anastasia recalls dad’s words. Before social services took the orphan to orphanage, the actress tried to adopt Andrei as soon as possible. Now the star of the series “Deffchonki” is raising a boy with her own child Yura.

Mikhail Barshchevsky A famous lawyer and his wife Olga adopted twins Dasha and Maxim in 2007.

Andrei Kirilenko The famous basketball player and his wife Maria were the parents of two boys when they decided to adopt a girl, Alexandra. This happened in 2009. Now there are four children in the family - in 2015, another boy was born. “I think that adoption is the best thing in my life,” the athlete’s wife said in an interview. - Your own children are, of course, very valuable, but adopted children can give you something else. You see, this is a more serious event for parents. You grow emotionally and spiritually. According to Maria, they are not going to hide the fact that she was adopted from Sasha. Now he spends most of his time in the States, and there such stories are par for the course. - Collection process necessary documents it took nine months, we can say that we carried our child,” said the basketball player. - There were doubts whether we could treat all our children equally. Recently my wife and I discussed this and came to the conclusion that we make no difference between them. I'm very happy about this.

Margarita Sukhankina In 2013, the singer became a mother twice - she adopted a boy and a girl. Now Lera and Seryozha go to school and study music. “We live happily,” Margarita said in an interview. - They are well-fed, dressed, shod. Everything is fine with us. We go to the movies, theaters, museums, zoos, circuses... They have an absolutely normal, full-fledged childhood life. Sometimes people say to me: “You’re a heroine!” I took two children.” But I don’t understand what heroism is? Moreover, I don’t even know who saved whom – I the children or they saved me. Living without them, I was just quietly going crazy. The normal state of every woman, when she lives with her family, gives birth to children. Things didn’t work out for me; my birth ended in tragedy. And I realized that I was already hanging myself. I don’t need all the money I earn, all this wealth alone. Who needs all this money? For what? They told me: “Live for yourself! What are you doing? This is so great! But for me, this is the highest selfishness - to live for oneself. I am a very active person, I need to give and share all the time. And who to take care of if not the children? Now I am incredibly happy that I have both a boy and a girl, absolutely two different worlds. Two planets. A niche in my soul that had been empty was filled.

Natalya Belokhvostikova and Vladimir Naumov In 2007, the 56-year-old actress and her 80-year-old director husband decided to become the parents of a 3-year-old boy named Kirill. Their only daughter Natasha had already grown up and lived separately. The actress said that the meeting with Kirill happened by chance. Together with her husband, she performed in an orphanage near Moscow. After the concert he approached them little boy and asked to give him a cross. And of course, they could not refuse him - they had to come to him again. Since then, the couple began to regularly visit Kirill, and then decided to adopt. - We went to Kiryusha for a whole year, he was waiting for us! The adoption issue has been resolved more than a year. It's so hard to do all this! Now we have a family. The boy is with us,” Naumov said. “I remember when they took Kiryusha home, he said: “Every night I asked God for mom and dad to find me as soon as possible,” admitted Belokhvostikova. - I will do everything so that my son lives happily and has a real childhood. Now he will never be alone.

Alexey Serebryakov Alexey Serebryakov does not like to talk about his personal life, much less share the details of his good deeds. The fact that Alexei has adopted children became known thanks to journalists who, without the actor’s consent, published this information in one publication. The case even went to court. Alexey and his wife, a former choreographer at the Vakhtangov Theater, Maria, first took one boy, Daniil, from the orphanage. Then the couple found out that Dani was staying in the orphanage younger brother Stepan. Without hesitation, Alexey and Maria adopted a second boy, despite the cramped life circumstances at that time. To the rest of the deprived parental love Alexey also could not remain indifferent to children: together with Irina Apeksimova and Andrei Smolyakov, he founded the “Time to Live” foundation, whose work is focused on helping orphans. Now Alexey and his family live in Toronto, Canada, but the actor continues to build his career in Russia.

Not every person is capable of taking someone else’s child into his family and giving him his warmth and care. This requires a special generosity of soul, a desire to make not only yourself happy, and an understanding of all the possible difficulties that you will have to face. And the more respect deserves people who managed to take responsibility for someone else’s fate and give happiness to a little person.

The decision to take in a child left without parental care is made for various reasons: some cannot get pregnant and give birth to a baby, others simply want to help an orphan. Domestic celebrities are no exception; they willingly take children into their care.

Tatiana Ovsienko

The singer never planned to adopt. Tatyana dreamed of having a natural child, but after she made a career. Only everything turned out differently. She did not give birth to a son, but met her by chance during a charity event in an orphanage in the city of Penza. This happened in the late 90s. Tatyana brought gifts and invitation cards to her concert for the children. The sad eyes of one of the children touched her to the depths of her soul.

Tatyana found out that Igor suffers from a heart defect and urgently needs surgery. The boy was not even three years old. Without surgery, the chances of survival were minimal. The orphanage could not pay for the expensive treatment in the capital. Ovsienko paid for the operation, and the boy’s condition improved. The singer brought him to her country house to recover in favorable conditions. After living together, Tatyana could not part with the boy and took Igor.

The guy found out that he was an adopted child at the age of 16. It was a shock for him. The son became estranged from his mother. Only a heart-to-heart conversation with Tatyana helped improve the relationship. The young man lives and studies in America, plays in a rock band.

Lyudmila failed to get pregnant again, so the couple decided to take the child up for adoption. There was no definite idea of ​​who exactly to take: a girl or a boy. Appearance didn't matter either.

When the couple received permission to adopt, they began looking for a child on the websites of orphanages. But it soon became clear that it was better to go and get to know each other ourselves. There were a lot of people in the capital who wanted to adopt a child, so the Rakovs went to an orphanage in the Moscow region. Upon arrival, we immediately noticed two-year-old Danila. After looking at the other kids, they returned to him. The paperwork procedure went quickly, thanks to the actor’s name and the proximity of the New Year. Danya moved to a new house on December 29.
