About the book: 2021 / My name is Julia Beisenova, I live with my family in Germany. By profession I am a programmer, by vocation I am a mother of many children and a volunteer in the field of helping orphans. In 2014, my husband and I learned that in the distant Russian city of Ussuriysk there lived a little girl, Elya, who needed a family. We decided to adopt Elya. It was a long and thorny path and probably one of the most difficult periods of my life. Then I started a diary in which I described all the amazing events of that time. Years later, friends convinced me that my writings could be useful to people, and I decided to publish them in book form. I will be glad if our story finds a response in your hearts.
