How a disabled boy Rustam, who was abandoned by his parents, became famous and found his happiness in a new family

When Rustam was born, his biological parents abandoned him in the first minutes after birth, and the doctors did not give any favorable forecasts. The absence of a leg, a cleft lip, a deformity of the skull – this is not all that befell the newborn: the baby underwent several difficult operations, and until the age of two he could only receive food through a tube.

A huge number of congenital malformations accompanied the sending of a little boy to an orphanage, where, according to the forecasts of both doctors and educators, he was to spend his whole life.

The miracle

But miracles happen in the world – and Rustam’s life changed dramatically when in 2017 he was taken away from the Cherepovets orphanage forever by Muscovite Nika – his new and at the same time only mother.

Nika always wanted to take the child from the orphanage. When she saw Rustam, there was no fear: there was a strong desire to help the child and give him love. The boy surprisingly quickly adapted to new conditions, and new parents surrounded him with attention and care. In the capital, Rustam was offered a special rehabilitation program, and the boy literally got on his feet right before his eyes – he was ordered a prosthesis.

Baby Roo

Nika started a blog Little Roo, where she shared in detail the moments of the life of the unique boy. Rustam was unusually quick-witted, all his physical shortcomings were more than compensated for by mental development. On her page, mom talks about the peculiarities of the life of Rus’, about the difficulties that she had to face from the very beginning.

She spoke about all the processes and the adoption process turned out to be not so simple too. She shares about the problems that still arise today. A separate issue is the reaction of others, often negative, to the non-standard appearance of the child. Nicky’s blog helps thousands of parents of unusual children find support and see that everyone deserves love, and the appearance has nothing to do about it. The main content of the page is the successes of a little boy, his small victories and simply positive moments of life.

Brother or sister

On the blog, Nika shares her thoughts and plans with subscribers to give a home to another child with a disability. To questions about where to get so much strength, a happy mother answers with ease: when you see how a fragile baby becomes a personality, you understand that everything is not in vain – hence the desire and strength to help another little child find his happiness.
