Do you want me to be your mom?

"Do you want me to be your mom?" - a diary by Olesya Likhunova, mother of seven children, five of whom are adopted. Olesya began keeping the diary four years ago, with the arrival of her first adopted son Vadim. Then a surprising yet inevitable thing happened. Olesya and her husband realized that they were truly interested in children: thus, their family welcomed Galya, Kristina, Kirill, and Nina. Day after day, Olesya wrote about the challenges they faced: it turned out that there are no universal recipes, and each child required a new approach. Her energy, non-standard approach to problem-solving, and the ability to skillfully organize life and learning for children proved to be helpful and inspired thousands of readers, not just parents. 
This book is about what it means to be a support for someone, about how to heal emotional wounds. And how much is possible to achieve in life. Perhaps even if something else important did not work out.
