Today was our first day in the clinic. It was a real eye opener. There are approximately 24 children that are currently in the long-term failure to thrive clinic. These children are either too unwell to be with their families or they have been abandoned due to medical conditions. These children will never be adopted and most will never go back to their parents or into foster care.
Tutova is the poorest area in the country...as a matter of fact, it is the poorest area in the entire European Union. The Tutova hospital is one of two hospitals left with a long term care facility for malnourished and disabled children. There use to be 48 but the government shut them all down due to costs.
These children are happy and, thanks to this organization, are clothed and well fed. They are very active and totally wore me out! This is a nice bit of birth control;-) So far I am having a great experience.

You are amazing! Think that just because you hold them and rebuild some of the lost attachment you may be saving a life or at least bettering it for a while!!
Kjempe Klem!!!!

Hi,
I am looking to volunteer in a Romanian orphanage this upcoming summer. Did you go through a program? Do you have any suggestions? I have loved reading your blog!
Thanks
Courtney
