Orphans of Ukraine

These are images of many of the orphans I met on a mission trip to Ukraine. The statistics of their future is heartbreaking. More video is available on our website at www.KristinasHope.com

you copied from another video---very very unethical--i saw your video a month or so ago and now it is just like another

[RansomedDaughter]

Hello-

I made this video myself a little over a year ago. These are images I took personally on a mission trip to Ukraine. I haven't seen one like it and I think its presumptive to call me unethical. If someone else has produced a similar video calling attention to the plight of orphans, then bravo for them.

Lets say it's copied. Lets say it's ripped off. WHO GIVES A FLIP! (I think she made it herself) Tell the story, raise awareness and hopefully something good will come from it. Spasiba RansomedDaughter for making this. I too have seen several orphanages in Ukraine and Romania and it is heartbreaking. The stats are actually worst than presented. Their system and corruption have not prepared these children for the future.

I think you get the point of it, jouxster. If someone else is out there promoting orphan awareness with our video then great. However, wildwooproductions did email us an apology for the accusation and mistake on their part. And yes, I have seen more current statistics that are worse than when I originally made the video. Keep praying for these kids. Adoptions in Ukraine are virtually at a stand still. Some real political intervention is needed here.

My Son from Texas adopted 2 girls from this orphanage they were both 15yrs.old. I am the proud grandma. It took two trips to the Ukrane

to do it. they are the sweetist girls you would ever want to meet. They are doing well in school and are picking up the english language really fast

When my father and my mother forsake me,

then the LORD will take me up.

better the china

@jouxster I do not see anything wrong, actually, millions of copies should be made and distributed, perhaps this would get to more people and touch their hearts.

The stats on this video are NOT correct. Having just arrived back form my 34th trip to Ukraine, and been working intimately in Ukraine since 1994, I can tell you from governmental sources, and facility directors, and eye witness myself, children are not just put on the street at 16, they DO have educational options, and may stay in school until they are 18, in addition they have technical school, vocational school, college and university choices. What is reported in this video is NOT correct.

Are orphans allowed to watch PG movies?
