5:32 am
an orphanage to adopt some young children. we just took away the ones that were offered and we had no idea how the children should be cared for so no occasion we doctored five kids. and as time went by we realized that we could care for them for you to. take in a couple more i said to my wife but then we ended up adopting seven. daddy. daddy. i was one of the several kids that they had taken then i asked him what shall i call you. he said call us father and mother if you like yes very much i responded and after that i found it easy to call them mother and father. i remember the day when father came to the
5:33 am
orphanage he and his wife were sitting in the chair in the corridor when they came up i thought the one wearing the black robe was a woman i mistook it for a dress i told him only and he gave me a sweet or. when i turned him over and got another suite i wasn't exactly sure who was momen who was that. three years later father nicholas family had grown to forty seven children. on another occasion a woman from another town chanced upon a seven year old boy remedying through garbage cans he was bald skinny and dirty she brought him to me and asked me where i could give him shelter. to feel he had some documents and where he was from you had no documents he was from hunting. this woman has heard about our place and was just planning to come to or inboard to visit her friend so she decided to take this boy with her and i said ok he's just one person it's hard family grew. the
5:34 am
situation with neglected children was quite desperate at the time but would you believe one third of the kids or those brought to me by other people yes i thought he was the lord himself i was a little child then. my granny had told me many stories about god there was an icon in our house so when i first saw my father he was like god. at that time i knew i was as young as her daughter is now father nicholai had already achieved priesthood even though he was just a young man under thirty. when he first took his new family to church the children pick pocketed parishioners. the first to head a rose tinted picture of the children i saw them as angels when my wife and i went through a very difficult period filled with uncertainty to take them back on from that which was tough. but they do we want to give them a rabbit get
5:35 am
a gift from my heart but the following morning the rabbit was nowhere to be seen where did it go did it run away took it in take long to find it but it was lying dead just outside the garden gate somebody had stabbed it as it turned out that the father of the boy who killed the rabbit so used to kill dogs eat. and. many of father nikolai's children did not have ideal childhoods some were removed from poor houses where they had to steal to survive others had never seen a tooth brush or even an apple the mothers would drink even though they were pregnant some of the children still have scars from beatings one daughter's head was slammed against the wall by her alcoholic biological father so their new father needed to work a miracle for them to overcome their past. patients
5:36 am
but it's hard to escape the past like yesterday for example we have a girl here i took her from a maternity home when she was just a b.b. so yesterday she stole a purse from her tutor but if another girl saw the act and demanded to know what she was holding her hands so the little one said want me to share some with the you why. i say. that is there's. ok. so. if it. was a good job. bother nicholai hired a staff of nannies to help raise and teach the children. over time he learned how to both encourage and discipline. i always try to avoid
5:37 am
spanking them but sometimes i simply have to even though it is their wrong thing to do. those who are nervous breakdowns usually when they misbehave. i just don't allow them to play. join the others on one of our many trips. and this case they just stayed home with the nanny. in the summer he takes all the children to the seaside to go sailing and sometimes it takes time to moscow. this one shows father and me visit in jerusalem i was eight years old here i'm three years old for this is in america. but then i remember the incredible with the arrival of new comers here comes the girl nobody knows where she going to call them
5:38 am
father and mother like we do father says this girl's name is he she will stay with us i fly into a rage how come she's going to live with us and calls a mother and father. father nicholai knows perfectly well how to settle conflicts among the children women because when i talk to each of them separately and i tell them i understand where they're coming from i tell them i'm on their side and then the next child comes in i tell them the same and this way conflicts will settle themselves. the family focuses on raising the children that they have but some come on their own accord maria a distant relative a father nikolai asked to join his family. i came here when i was sixteen years old the girls were about the same age if we had been raised in the same family there would be no conflict we simply didn't know each other i wasn't here for sixteen years they have been living together for a long time they belong to different nationalities and have managed to build
5:39 am
a community and then i came suddenly. where you know the saying goes when in rome do as the romans do but she was out to impose her own rules and us. she wanted to be the leader but that would not work with us. we aren't allowed to play football with the boys but she did i told her playing football with the boys was against the rules. she said are you trying to teach me if she came back and began swinging her arms in front of me we had a fight about rooster me. it was about kinship and who loves whom you see mari is a relative of mine but the other girl see that moved in with her father since childhood he loves us more than he does you remember that's what caused a quarrel with her but i had to succumb to the majority but i told her you did the wrong thing by trying to set yourself against all the others who put your. now
5:40 am
maria lives in the charity house across the road from father nikolai's family. there's a pacemaker inside my chest i live off a bed i know several old women complaining about their children living off their pensions and the granddaughters all style of thing. the rules the streets to hear if the girls can't win trousers they have to wear scallops in further nicholas house kids lead the way they lie kill will leave as if you were in the morning sometimes life gets very boring and there is no communication with the outside. the family gathers together during rehearsals they are always preparing for a performance. for the. one who wants to break even christmas and all the new year how the frost won't find you. boys and girls live and study separately they meet in church at rehearsal or on the far. right.

they came here and they tour and they liked me thanks changed numbers then became friends and i told dad i don't know what's going to happen next. for the priest the most important thing is that his daughter's fiance is a good man. husband is a policeman she was studying to become an accountant to norm berg which is where she met her spouse. but i don't my father that i have met a guy and he's had to wanted to meet him to. go to acquainted with color said that he's a good guy and we can be friends and so on this is nice to. basically it was lemon who got married his. party was the next one. the girls love looking at wedding pictures hanging in the house as well as those of all seventy children who all called this to them scuse their father and mother.
5:47 am
the parents managed to look out for the first group of children themselves but as the family grew they had to hire people to help them. the mother could not cope with washing diapers for three dozen babies and checking the homework of twenty schoolchildren but like all parents try to spend all their free time together with their children. basically i was my mother's favorite shows holding mean her arms all the time can you see me in her arms in the pictures and here i am in her arms too she was holding me all the time. little by little the day to day lives of the children have changed before it was the mother who put everyone to bed now the older sisters are in charge of the task it's also their responsibility to look after the little ones. it takes four shots to cope with the family a lot of food is needed as the children can eat their way through one hundred fifty kilograms of potatoes in just three days but the children always help in the
5:48 am
kitchen it's very important for them to know where food comes from and an orphanage children don't even know how to make friday since they only see cook dishes. children come and get your pies. father nikolai's sometimes drops by to see if everything is fine now it is he has very little time to do so. first children got a lot of our attention we spent all the time together with them we took them to try everywhere we went to the boy. they received lots of our attention i would be biological parents sometimes give less care to their kids than we did. but with the kids that we have now the situation is somewhat different. perhaps because we have grown older. at first glance it may seem that life for the children here is no
5:49 am
different than in a good orphanage should move closer to what makes the difference is that they feel protected they don't want to leave this place. they don't ask me to pass them to another family this is the best sign that they feel protected. if they were different from and not often even know when i married my father calls me to ask how my kids and i are doing my children treat him as their grandfather and. in addition dead bought us a house which is never the case that often injures one with. he helps us just any normal parent but he's got too many children the priest knows that one day many of them will ask him for a blessing of guidance. here i just want to know why they abandoned me. sooner or later almost everyone of the children will wonder why they were abandoned
5:50 am
