"Three years ago today, our son was born in Kyiv"
Three years ago today, our son was born in Kyiv—in a delivery room whose windows, as Polina later described, were fortified with sandbags to protect against shrapnel. While we watched massive columns of smoke rise over Bucha and Irpin from our apartment on the 9th floor of a high-rise in the western part of the city, listening to heavy artillery fire, seeing cruise missiles fly overhead, and hearing gunfire near our residential complex at night, our son came into the world on the eastern side of the Dnipro River.
Unfortunately, we never had the chance to meet the hospital staff, but we are deeply grateful to the doctors and midwives for their service under such terrible conditions. We often think of the many supporters who helped us—some of whom we never even met. We continue to follow the news from Ukraine closely every day. The destruction and human losses caused by Russia fill us with deep sorrow. At the same time, we feel ashamed of what we see as Germany and Europe’s far too hesitant support for Ukraine. As for the appalling developments in the United States, I am at a loss for words.
On this anniversary, I want to express my deepest gratitude to you. Thank you for your outstanding coordination, which made everything go as smoothly as possible. Without you and your team, we would not be parents today. We will never forget that, in the face of an unpredictable frontline situation, you were even willing to offer us your car to escape. For that, we are endlessly grateful.
We hope that you, your family, and the Nova Espero team are doing as well as possible under the circumstances.
Slava Ukraini!

"We are so blessed to have found them"
Our experience working with Oleg and Julia was absolutely wonderful in every way. When we stared the adoption process in December of 2013, we had no clue where to start. Oleg's website is filled with detailed instructions on every step of the process. If we ever had a question, Oleg was very quick to reply to his e-mail. Once we were in country, Oleg and Julia were amazing. They both went over and beyond their call of duty. We are so blessed to have found them to help us with this amazing journey.
"Oleg, Luba, Lena Thank you!"
We adopted our son in the Fall of 2013. We had a wonderful experience with everyone we worked with. Our adoption in country was completed in 5 weeks. We had no major delays or problems. We would recommend using Oleg and his team, they were great!
Oleg, Luba, Lena Thank you! Everyone had worked so hard throughout our adoption process and we truly appreciate it! Everyone has been professional and personable. We will always remember our time in Ukraine! :). Thank you for helping our family find Nikita and make him our son! Our whole family is so excited to meet him! Thank you!!!
"You did a wonderful job"
You did a wonderful job of walking us through the entire process. We had a wonderful experience with everyone we worked with in New Hope.
"Oleg is the best!"
Oleg is the best! Quit looking elsewhere. He and his team will get things done...magically! We wasted time and money trying to get our girls registered with others. Also, on our first adoption trip, we didn't know of Oleg. We spent nine miserable weeks with an inept adoption facilitator. Then we found out about Oleg. Lizzie and Rimma were registered in record time and our adoption trips with Oleg, his assistants Nadia and Tanya, were incredibly easy! Oleg may be a little higher in price, but you certainly make up for it by not losing more weeks of wages, spending more resources and time, and just being away from home too long!
