In 2009, one of my best friends, Heather, and her family hosted 5 Ukrainian orphans for the summer: Vlad, Galia, and a few I can't remember. Hollie, Heather's mom, had been to the Ukraine several times before and had fallen in love with a 7 year old girl named Oxanna. Oxanna was the younger sister of Vlad, age 13, and Galia, age 15. Hollie had already set her mind on adopting Oxanna and didn't want to leave behind her siblings. So she got all three. <br><br>We've come a long way since then. Vlad, now Troy, is about to turn 16. Galia, now Haley recently went to her first dance with her American sister Rachel and Rachel's best friend Jenna. Oxanna, now Anna (pronounced like Ana) is best friends with my little sister. But we have a problem. Last year, Hollie met Micah, one of the orphans she had hosted in 2009. He had recently been adopted and was doing horrible. He did drugs, smoked, drank, ran away and almost had to go to jail. Micah is 14 years old. Hollie rescued him and brought him into her home. But that brought out the worst in Troy. They ran away together three times in 2 months and bought "bad things" from a local store (sorry there are children on here). Long story short, Micah had to go. He is now living happily with the grandparents of his adoptive family.<br><br>But Troy has run away twice since Micah left. Nobody knows where he goes, we just know it can't be good. Recently, Heather told me that Troy is going to Juvy if he runs away again. This upset me very much because I had gotten really close to him and he was really good looking. Almost every girl who met him was in love, but he liked me. Unfortunately he just asked my enemy out. :P meh... <br><br>Anywho, I want to help out but I don't know what I could do! <br><br>P.S. This summer, Hollie and her friend Sophia are hosting 10 Ukrainian orphans! Ohhh pray for us, their family is ALWAYS at my house in the summer!
