You make a living from what you get, You make a life from what you give!!

Isn't that a wonderful quote and philosophy to live by!! We should all try it!! That statement is on the bottom of a business card from Dr. Yuiy Bezdvernyy, M.D., Ph.D. from Kiev. I had the wonderful experience of meeting with him, and his beautiful daughter, on the grounds of the orphanage. I met him, via email after reading a report that he had written on one of the children who was being considered for adoption by a family. Apparently, Dr.Yuriy's did not quite understand WHY anyone would want to adopt a child who 'had limited potential' when a 'normal' child had so much to give! Well, he also wasn't prepared for the emails that went back and forth between us this year, and for me to fly over there and meet him to discuss his attitude which was really just representative of his culture! After sitting under a large shade tree and sharing with him the why's and the how's and the why not, I think he got it! He is now looking forward to working together to bring awareness and training to the other professionals in the Ukraine! And, I hope to be able to share the progress of this little guy with Dr. Yuriy once he is with his family and begins to receive intervention!!

 Dr Yuriy Bezdvernyy works with a medical group in Kiev who speak English (his business card was in Russian on one side and English on the other)! He's a great contact for not only medical emergencies but also for evaluations!! We take care of your health and peace of mind!! (from his card). He can be reached at his office at (044)551-41-93, cell phone 8-050-469-55-23 or via email at ybezdverny@km.ru. Just tell him 'Sandie' sent you!!!
