Foster child abandonment is not uncommon in the adoption industry. Often, inexperienced adoptive parents are unprepared for the child’s problems, illnesses, or are simply tired of responsibility. Among celebrities there are also those who did not pass the test of having a stepchild.

Evdokia Germanova

Actress, 58 years old

In 2001, the star of the film “The Hoax” adopted a boy from an orphanage. The 41-year-old actress had no biological children, and Kolya from the Orphanage became everything for Germanova. But due to the busy schedule of filming and performances, the actress had to send her son to school a year earlier, when the boy was only five years old. That's when the teachers began to notice strange things about the boy: he studied poorly, did not respond to comments and banged his head against the walls.

When such cases became more frequent, Evdokia showed the boy to the doctors. One of the doctors suggested that the child was developing schizophrenia. Germanova tried to establish the cause and found out that Kolya’s parents were drug addicts.

This changed the actress’s attitude towards her adopted child. She gave Kolya for treatment in mental asylum and didn’t visit him for a year. The only person who remained close to the boy was his adoptive uncle, Alexey Germanov. At the age of 8, when Kolya was discharged, he learned that he no longer had a family. Germanova abandoned her son, and he was sent back to the orphanage.

But Kolya did not forget his mother. He repeatedly looked for a meeting with the actress, but, according to Nikolai, his adoptive mother did not even let him into the door, although he was diagnosed with schizophrenia young man not confirmed. Nikolai addressed the actress on the air of “Let Them Talk.” According to Nikolai himself, he doesn’t need anything from Evdokia except explanations. In 2017, Nikolai turned 18 years old and no longer needs adoption. But the apartment that he was entitled to was transferred to his foster mother. Germanova is not going to return the two-room apartment and improve relations with his grown-up son.

IN in social networks Many celebrities stood up for the guy, among whom was the writer Maria Arbatova: “We must judge those who gave a lonely, mentally unbalanced, drinking actress (and this is exactly how I saw her for many years) a one and a half year old child. The fact that Dunya brutally beat him is evidenced not only by the scars on his head, but also by a bunch of adults who crossed paths with them at that time.” She was supported by the host of the “Let's Get Married!” program. Larisa Guzeeva: “Germanova’s act is a crime, and there can be no other opinion! And what? What changed in her life after she ruined the boy’s life?” At the same time, Germanova is a member charitable foundation"Save life."

Irina Ponarovskaya

Singer, 64 years old

Irina Ponarovskaya was married three times. The marriage with the musical director of the VIA “Singing Guitars” lasted only a year and a half. The artist lived with her second husband, jazz singer Weiland Rodd, for 7 years and gave birth to a son. But the couple had another child, which Ponarovskaya prefers not to remember.

After getting married, Irina and Weiland dreamed of a child and decided to adopt. This happened spontaneously: during a concert, an 18-year-old girl approached Ponarovskaya backstage and said that she had just given birth to a child from an African. She couldn’t leave the girl and invited Irina... to buy the girl from her! For 50 rubles. Irina and Weiland took this absurd situation as a sign and took the child without hesitation.

Betty - that's what the baby was named - bathed in love until Irina became pregnant. Having given birth to a son, Irina realized that she could not cope with two children, and... gave her four-year-old daughter to an orphanage. At the orphanage, Betty was given a new name - Anastasia.

The reunion of mother and daughter took place in the studio of the show “Wait for Me.” Irina repented and invited Betty to return to the family. But as soon as the girl moved, she was accused of theft and kicked out again. Later, on the air of the “Actually” program, the girl said that as a child, Vail Rodd bullied her, beat her and set a dog on her. One day Betty suffered a concussion.

Now Betty-Anastasia is over 30 years old, she is raising a son and works as a masseuse. The girl does not give up trying to improve relations with her adoptive mother, introduce her to her grandson, and does not hide the fact that she needs money. The singer’s agent Valeria Tuvina gives the following answer to this: “Irina Ponarovskaya has long wanted nothing to do with this girl, her personal life and her offspring.”

Yulia Lyubichanskaya

Socialite, 36 years old

Yulia Lyubichanskaya became famous after marrying billionaire Nikolai Sarkisov. Having given birth to three children from him, Julia divorced and became pregnant with her fourth child from Lithuanian actor James Tratas. One day, Julia's children brought a friend to the family - 18-year-old Kuzya, who was abandoned by his parents. The mother of many children accepted the young man into the family, but could not legally adopt an adult. He, in turn, began to call Yulia mom.

But there are contradictions in history. Yulia says that her children brought Kuzma into the family because he is an orphan: “He grew up in a foster family, but more than a year ago his foster parents simply abandoned him to his fate. They went to live abroad, leaving him alone in a boarding school. Without a livelihood. He accidentally met Sonya and began to visit our house. This is an incredibly kind, smart and bright child! Such, unfortunately, are extremely rare these days. We all became very attached to him and loved him with all our hearts. Thank God that he appeared in our lives and he did not have to return to the orphanage. He is as dear to me as Sonya, Mark, Niki and Lusha! I will never let anyone hurt my children. I’m ready to bite with my teeth anyone who dares to hurt them.”

After some time, Kuzma moved out of Yulina’s house, and this was the end of the “adoption” game. Julia admitted that the decision to take another child was hasty. The mother of many children was not yet ready to face “some of the problems of adolescence” that were happening to her adopted son, and they separated. Nevertheless, Yulia does not lose touch with Kuzma and is ready to support him at any moment.

Natalia Karpovich

Deputy, 45 years old

Natalya once raised six children, but she had to give up one of them. Natalya already had three biological children when she and her husband, coach Nikolai Kibkalo, adopted Danila. Initially, visiting the orphanage where Danila was located was for charity, but the couple became attached to the child.

Until the age of four, the boy pleased his parents and got along with Natalya’s natural children. But as soon as the child grew up, problems began. He behaved aggressively with his brother and two sisters and did not obey. Natalya showed her son to the doctors. Having learned that the child suffers from a mental disorder, Natalya was confused. The health and peace of mind of her biological children turned out to be more important to her. She returned Danila to the orphanage. After five years spent in the family, the boy found himself alone again.

Four years later, Natalya’s family was replenished again - in 2015, Karpovich became a mother for the sixth time. She speaks about the status of a mother of many children and her past: “My only regret is that I realized too late that there should be a lot of children and made a number of mistakes. And I pray that this child will not be the last.”

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman

The first sign was a singer popular in the 11990s Tatiana Ovsienko. In 1998, she adopted a boy with a congenital heart defect and thereby seriously influenced the consciousness of people in our country. Tatyana did not hide the truth or invent incredible stories the birth of a baby in the family, and frankly told her story.

Our group had a rule: during tours, give charity concerts in orphanages. In Penza, during a performance at the Palace of Culture, I received a note from the head physician of the Orphanage with a request to bring green apples to the children. We filled the car with boxes and drove to the indicated address. That's where I saw Igor. A tiny boy sat in the corner, holding in his hands... an algebra textbook turned upside down. He was two and a half years old at that time. I was amazed and started asking about him: who? What? It turned out that his 17-year-old mother, having learned that her son had a heart defect, abandoned him. When there were Americans who wanted to adopt him, his grandfather prevented him and did not sign necessary papers. “He’s dying,” the manager told me. “We need an operation, but it can only be done in Moscow, and we have no way to get permission for this.”

A day later, I was sitting at the Bakulevsky Cardiology Center with Igor’s medical records. And I knew that if the operation was successful, I would never part with the boy.” 32-year-old Tanya, who did not have children of her own, quickly learned everything a mother should know.

After the operation, she spent a couple of months with Igor in the hospital for rehabilitation, the boy became attached to her and called her mom.

The singer confronted her husband, producer Vladimir Dubovitsky, with a fait accompli. Whether he wanted to adopt the boy or not, Tanya did not care, the decision was made and was not subject to appeal.

Six months later, the adoption process began. Dubovitsky recognized the child and Igor, by court decision, received his last name. Tatyana was happy about this; she was afraid that if Igor became Ovsienko, his biological mother would quickly find him. But it all worked out, Igor grew up, got married, but his own mother never showed up.

Although it was no secret in the family that Igor was an adopted child, this topic was never raised. Only when Dubovitsky Jr. turned 18 years old and he flew to his mother in Moscow from America, where last years lives with his father, asked: “Mom, tell me who I am.”

“The day before, he talked to Vova about the same thing. In my opinion, it was wrong to discuss such a difficult issue in the absence of the mother. Still, Igoresha lived most of his life with me. But be that as it may, that evening we had a heart-to-heart talk, we both cried, and I offered to find his mother. But Igor said: “You are mom. I don’t need another one,” Tanya said in an interview with TN.

One of the most prominent TV presenters of the 90s Svetlana Sorokina became a mother at the age of 46, after divorcing her second husband. I didn’t think about the fact that the offensive “single mother” would attach itself to her. Fifteen years ago, Svetlana saw a one-year-old girl in a walker in a shelter, and realized that only Tone wanted to become a mother. Although, as the journalist admitted, before that she dreamed of adopting a boy.

With the advent of Tony, Svetlana began to work less, although before that she suffered from workaholism and devoted a lot of time and effort to raising her child. The girl showed good musical abilities, and her mother sent her to a music school at the Gnessin School. It is interesting that Tonya Sorokina named her daughter in honor of her grandmother Antonina Ivanovna. The TV presenter rarely attends social events, and 16-year-old Antonina appears even more rarely. But when you manage to see them together, you can’t even dare to name this happy family incomplete!

Star of the famous Lenkom 56-year-old Victor Rakov- father of three children. From his first marriage, the actor has a 30-year-old son, Boris. From the second - 27-year-old daughter Anastasia and 11-year-old son Danila. Victor and his wife Lyudmila did not immediately tell the public that the youngest was an adopted child. They presented the boy to the press as own son, late and desirable, but then declassified. It turned out that the couple really wanted one more common child, but... “we propose, but God disposes.” The long-awaited pregnancy did not occur. Then the idea arose to take the child from the orphanage. Moreover, Victor and Lyuda did not agree in advance what their baby should look like. When they saw 2-year-old Danya, both their hearts sank. They looked at the other children, but only Danya reigned in their thoughts. They returned to him, played and... went back to Moscow without voicing a decision. And the very next day they returned. Thanks to Rakov's popularity, the adoption process went faster than expected. The child came into the family on the eve of the new year, 2009. His sister Nastya happily accepted her brother, they even look alike!

When the Rakovs were filming for TN, it could not have occurred to me that Danya was not a child of his own blood. All four of them were so filled with tenderness and love for each other.

Few people know that the popular actress Maria Mironova has a brother. Her mother, actress Ekaterina Gradova, the famous radio operator Kat from “17 Moments of Spring,” took a one-year-old boy Alyosha from an orphanage. It is noteworthy that this was the same orphanage where her movie children were found. Ekaterina Georgievna is married to former nuclear physicist Igor Timofeev. Their Foster-son Alexey did not follow in the footsteps of his parents, he served in Marine Corps and is engaged in the restaurant business.

U Alexey Serebryakov no native children. More precisely, there are even three, but by blood they are strangers. When he married his beloved woman, Maria, he became a stepfather to her daughter Dasha. In a recent interview with Yuri Dudu, Alexey said that he and Masha dreamed of large family, but... it didn’t work out. Then the couple thought about adoption.

First, Stepan appeared with the Serebryakovs, then his brother Danila. Both boys grew up in orphanage. Surprisingly, the three children are similar to each other and to their parents!

Adoption is not always the lot of young couples. For example, Natalia Belokhvostikova and her husband Vladimir Naumov became parents to 3-year-old Kirill when Natalya Nikolaevna was 56 years old and Vladimir Naumovich was 80!

When Belokhvostikova and Naumov arrived at the orphanage, Kirill did not try to attract attention to himself. Other children were jumping around, grabbing hands and asking to be taken home. And Kiryusha waited until the fuss died down, came up and quietly asked: “Auntie, everyone has crosses, but I don’t. Give it to me, please." This modest request moved the actress to tears. They brought the boy pectoral cross and were soon adopted. 11 years have passed since then.

Their own daughter, Natalya Naumova accepted Kiryusha as a brother. The boy is growing developed child, draws well, recites poetry, studies are easy for him, foreign languages. The couple admitted that they never regretted their decision.

Psychologist's opinion:

1. Adopted child- often a salvation for childless couples. The spouses have a feeling of a real full-fledged family, responsibility for each other and for the child.

2. The common argument: “It is unknown what kind of genes an adopted child has” is broken by the argument that our own children often present us with unpleasant surprises. Either the child looks like a drunkard grandfather, or like a slacker uncle.

3. If you decide to take a baby, be prepared for the fact that he will definitely go through a difficult period of denying the authority of his parents during puberty. Perhaps he will start looking for biological parents. An experienced psychologist will tell you how to act.

4. You should not hide the fact that the baby is adopted. Otherwise you will have to live under sword of Damocles, fearing accidental exposure. The world is not without “good” people. Even if you change your place of residence and pass off your baby as your own from birth, problems may arise over time. Your son or daughter will accidentally find documents, relatives will spill the beans, or you yourself will actually traumatize him.

However, there are many other celebrities in Russian and foreign show business who took children from the orphanage. A selection of such stars is in the material

Margarita Sukhankina

Soviet and Russian group“” was especially popular in the 90s, but despite this, the personal life of one of the soloists of the group did not work out in the best way.

At the age of 48, the star became a mother for the first time, taking two kids from the shelter: 3-year-old Lera and her older brother, 4-year-old Seryozha.

Hugh Jackman

As Jackman himself said in an interview, the couple could not decide for a long time to adopt their first child from the orphanage, but today they understand that these children were destined for them.

“What difference does it make whether they are biological or not - these are my children!” says Jackman.

Svetlana Sorokina

The famous Russian TV presenter was busy with her career and had already accepted that she was not destined to give birth to a child. That is why she decided to take the child from the orphanage.

Now Tonya has grown up. She turned out to be a talented girl and is making progress in learning the basics of musical art. Sorokina spends a lot of time with her daughter; they travel together.

The teenager has parents, but they are deprived of parental rights.

As Swift said in a recent interview, Nikita dreams of entering a circus school, and the star believes in his strength and abilities. In addition, it is heartwarming to think that it can give a person the opportunity to have a good and fulfilling life.

Meg Ryan

Another Hollywood star, actress, adopted a Chinese girl, Daisy True, in 2006. According to Ryan, when she decided to take a child from an orphanage, she did not position herself as a rescuer and did not consider that she was carrying out some kind of noble mission.

At that time, Igor was only two years old. The manager told the star that the parents abandoned the boy due to a heart defect. Ovsienko found money for the operation and decided that if it was successful, she would definitely adopt this boy. And so it happened.

On the topic of the fact that Igor is adopted, the star first told him at the age of 18 and offered to find biological mother, however, the guy refused, saying that he already has a mother and he doesn’t need another.

Sandra Bullock

In 2010, she adopted a boy, Louis. The adoption took place against the backdrop of a divorce from Jesse James due to his constant infidelities. The couple planned to raise the child together, but Bullock took sole custody, which angered her ex-partner.
