needles outside our apartment

These needles are disturbing, but even more disturbing to me is the rampant dishonesty that is here among some of the Ukrainian people. One thing that I find extremely disturbing along with the Corbetts is that we learned that our facilitator, Oksana, actually facilitated the adoption for the Italian family that came and "stole" Danil and his brother, (the boy the Corbetts hosted.) What is even more upsetting is that Ellie had the Corbetts send candy and gifts to the boys and charged them a ridiculous amount of money to have someone deliver the treats to the orphanage. They pretended to try to get the boys to say "no" to the Italian family when all along they were facilitating the adoption for the Italians. This was discovered when Oksana told Sonya where the Italians had stayed and then suddenly realized that she had said too much. We asked Vitaly if Oksana had ever been to the orphanage before and he said "yes, she helped the family from Italia adopt Danil and his brother." Oksana had demanded that Danil's phone be taken away so he could not communicate with the Corbetts. Can you imagine how upsetting this was for them? They were devastated! After these boys were gone, Ellie set to work trying to talk the Corbetts into adopting Alina (whom the Love's hosted and were still working to adopt) and eventually Igor and Andre.
