A. Alesya is 15. It is now ten years since she went to live at SOS Children’s Village-Minsk, the Institution that helps raise abandoned children in a socially and emotionally secure home-

like environment. Since Alesya’s SOS mother Irina had room in her family, she went to visit the orphanage where Alesya had been living for two years. “We liked each other,” says Alesya, quite plainly, so she was soon sent to the SOS family to live. The girl was afraid nonetheless: “I used to have visions of a monster flying out of the house.” But her new family including seven siblings became part of Alesya’s everyday life. “There was always a lot going on,” she explains. “We had lots of joint activities, like sharing housework, games, camping and parties that made me fit in and feel part of the family. There’s a party every year when we prepare a programme together. It’s so much fun.”

The girl has hardly any contact with her family of origin, but that is okay with Alesya. She has met some members of her family a couple of times. However, her life revolves around her SOS Family. “I’ve experienced and learnt so much with my Mum Irina. I know what I want to do with my life and I will achieve it.”

This family have been together for twelve years and they tell me that they have two more children joining them the following week. I can feel the bond between them and the love that is radiating from their mum.

B. When grown-up children decide to return to the nest, it can be a challenge to their parents’ new-found freedom. Graham and Janet Walton, the couple, who have been making headlines around the world with the birth of the world’s only all-girl sextuplets, said that they couldn’t be happier.

“I love that they’re all around,” said Mrs Walton, 54. “It would be so lonely without them. All I want now is to have some grandchildren.”

All six girls – Hannah, Luci, Sarah, Kate, Jennie and Ruth – moved out soon after they turned 18, but over the years returned one by one, the family tells this week’s edition of The First Magazine. The only exception is Ruth, who is living nearby with her boyfriend of four years.

Fortunately, the Waltons senior hadn’t made any drastic changes to their lifestyles.

The minibus they used to drive their daughters around has gone, but was replaced by an eight-seater people-carrier and they still live in the same eight-bedroom house in Wallasey, Wirral.
