Determined To Make It WorkRomanian Orphanage

Yes, adopting a kid is a wonderful decision but everyone knows how complicated and time consuming the whole process can be. Let’s just say that the adoption procedures were way more complexed than today. Seeing how it might take long before they get selected as the eligible parents, the couple was not only applying in their country but in many other adoption agencies across the globe.

Halfway Across The WorldRomanian Orphan

The couple’s life was about to change when they received a call from ‘the land beyond the forest’, a place where the number of kids up for adoption were much higher than other countries and so were their chances to adopt a baby. This journey was about to take them to a city named Arad, situated on the Mures River in Western Romania. This journey was certainly not going to turn out as expected.

Searching Far And Wide

In the stranger country, the Trecroce couple visited all the orphanage they knew of by some sources. Everywhere there were one or the other regulations that made it hard for them to proceed with the adoption. Looking at those orphan kids and not being able to give them a life they deserved was enough to increase their stress levels.

While they were on their routine of visiting orphanages, one fine day, a little girl caught their eyes. The moment Ron and Natalie walked in the building, they noticed this girl who was looking at them as if she wanted to play with them. While Ron made his way to the person in charge’s office, Natalie couldn’t resist greeting this angel who was looking for someone to play with her.

The Opportunity Of A LifetimeRomanian Orphan

Meanwhile, Ron was going through the adoption eligibility form Natalie asked the orphan’s foster lady about this girl. Her name was Rodica Lavinia Farcas, a one-year-old at that time. She was speaking in that innocent kiddish voice trying to say all the words she learned so far all at once. They weren’t ready to let this opportunity go by so easily.

This happened with them before also when they were unable to adopt the baby they felt connected to due to legal issues. This time they didn’t know that there is a different situation waiting for them.

Love At First SightRomanian Orphan

Ron and Natalie both fall in love with this little abandoned Romanian orphan who was left at the orphanage as an infant. Her health wasn’t good at all, she was weak and ill. Compared to children of her age Rodica was underweight too. The motivating part was that this girl never lost her smile. Looking at her condition, the Trecroces wanted to know more about her past and how did she even end up in the orphanage. Little did they know that their questions will lead to some disturbing answers.
