These spouses wanted to have children. But the woman did not become pregnant.
At that time, they tried everything possible, but to no avail. So, they made a serious decision: to adopt a little one.
The couple began looking for a newborn. They discovered that in Africa the number of orphans is high because living conditions there are bad.
They found a baby in Congo and went there to adopt him. There, the couple found themselves facing several difficulties, since people there live according to different rules.
The adoption process lasted over 2 years. Apart from the documents, the couple had to pay a special tax for the child which reached $35,000.
When the boy named Matias was finally adopted by the Slavic spouses, this time everyone faced a language barrier.
Also, the spouses’ relatives and friends did not accept their choice and could not understand why they decided to adopt a black child.
To avoid public pressure and put their boy in difficulty, the adoptive parents moved to the United States. So Matias was 3 years old.
The family has been living in America for 15 years and the happy parents are happy for the decision they once made.
Matthias is already 18 years old and he continues his studies at university. The boy has loving and caring parents who think life without their son would be sad.
They told him his story and the teenager decided to one day visit Congo, his native country.
