Eugénia et Alexandre: Ukraine
Nous sommes bien heureux d'être de retour
au pays avec nos deux petits cocos
ukrainiens Eugénia et Alexandre et de
retrouver nos 3 enfants Jacob, Isaac et
Justine qui nous ont tant manqué. La
rencontre des enfants ukrainiens avec ceux
canadiens s'est très bien déroulée et tout ce
beau monde s'entend à merveille.
La routine pour les enfants (lever le matin,
la douche/bain, faire le lit, brosser les
dents, les repas et les dodos) est bien
établie.
On réalise qu'on est tombé sur
de très bons enfants. Et ceux-ci
sont très heureux d'être avec
nous! Ils nous collent, nous
serrent dans leurs bras, et sont
tout sourire.

SAINT-GEORGES. After a recent stay of two months in the Ukraine,
Dominique Busque, and Marquis Roy from St. Georges realized their
biggest dream, to form a family through adoption. They are now the
parents of three energetic and healthy children: Maxim, 8, Logan, 6,
and little Angélika, 4 years old. Back home in Beauce since May,
the family glows with perfect happiness. The siblings have become
familiar with their new environment and new language: French. The
parents themselves are in heaven because their dream has finally
become a reality. “We are truly very happy. Sometimes it may feel like
things get a bit hectic and demanding but we are a great team and we
are fully immersed in our new reality. Everything is going well, even
very well, "says the new 31 year-old mother. ”Contrary to most other
couples, our Plan A had always been to adopt.” "We fully assume our
life choices. Biologically, we didn’t even try to have children, "says
Marquis. "We were a little eccentric in our decision. We knew that
even if our ways are not accepted with unanimity, this had always
been our project, "adds Marquis’s wife, married since 2007.!

SAINT-GEORGES. Since their return from Kiev, Dominque Busque and Marquis Roy ‘s children
adapt to their new family environment, and, despite their mother tongue, Russian, the fear of the
language barrier proved to be unfounded according to this couple from St. George.
As much as the language issue worried us initially, today it is no longer a challenge. They are
trying to learn a new language. We manage to understand one another through sounds and
gestures. We felt we were prepared yet expected it to be worse. It is not more difficult to have
three versus one. It just takes more organization and management, "says Dominique.
Most certainly having adopted siblings facilitates their integration. "They are from the same
family so they play together, understand each other and stand by one another," says Marquis.
The two oldest have also helped Dominique and Marquis a lot by acting as interpreters for their
little sister, especially during their stay in Ukraine. The couple also got a helping hand from
a social worker.
As new parents, they view the upcoming school year in a positive light, despite the various
challenges awaiting their children. (J.F.F.)!

A PERFECT MATCH
After many unsuccessful efforts with China and Kazakhstan, the couple finally turned to Ukraine
which was not their first choice. Only two and a half years after their initial start in adoption it
finally became possible with this country. On March 27, they took off in the direction towards the
capital, Kiev, and without knowing the gender or the number of children they would return with
to Beauce. According to the homestudy evaluation, the couple had the opportunity to adopt one
to three children between the ages of 0 to 12 years. Still there were unknowns.
"We are super happy with the result. I think our kids match our personalities perfectly. We were
told that in adoption, you know where it’s leading, but you do not know where you will end up "
confirms Dominique who strongly believed in this project. "The more it moves ahead, the more
you develop as a person. It felt like everything lead us to the children we should have
somewhere out there., was it destiny? I think so, "adds Marquis who will soon celebrate his 34th
birthday.
