Bundle Of Joy

Before adopting this Romanian girl, the couple inquired more about her. They were told that she was left here as an infant and since then had been under the care of the orphanage. Though Rodica always had a smiling face and show no signs of illness, she was in a poor state. Her health was a major concern that would compel the couple to rethink their decision.

 Rethinking

Rodica was a severely weak child. She was malnourished to extremes. She even showed signs and symptoms of Rickets. She had bowed legs and extremely fragile bones. Her bone health was far from healthy. The only thing which made the couple rethink about adopting her was from where did the baby girl make her way to this orphanage. What was the place of her birth and who were the parents?

Joining The Links

After giving the adoption a second thought, the couple realized that giving an unfortunate being a happy and healthy life was all that they wanted, and Rodica was the one who genuinely needed help. They adopted the girl but started digging into her past background in order to provide her with the correct medical help. However, Trecroce could have never prepared themselves enough for what was going to be unfolded.

Difficult Thing

Ron and Natalie signed the adoption papers and were now legally the parents of Rodica. Initially, they thought that knowing about the whereabouts of this little girl and her past won’t be a tough thing but soon only their illusion was broken. Rather, linking the girl’s present to her past was the most difficult thing they came across.

No Records

Back in the 90’s adoption was no cakewalk and then with this orphanage, in particular, it was even tougher. They had no past records of this girl and in Romania finding old papers and medical history including birthplace and certificates was no less than a bureaucracy. Nevertheless, when the couple found a link from Rodica’s past they were taken aback.

The Family Tree

While searching the old books of the orphanage, Trecroce came across an old album in which they found a family tree. Luckily, that family tree belonged to Rodica. On closely inspecting the image, Ron and Natalie could not believe their eyes. They never expected that an orphan Romanian girl had so much more to her.
