Sasha was born on March 8, 1992, now he is 21 years old, he is a very kind, intelligent and reasonable young man. His growth stopped in childhood and is still about 55 centimeters, so he looks like a teenager. He believes in God and constantly attends church and divine services, he himself read long prayers more than once.
Despite his difficult fate and illness, Sasha is full of optimism, he is happy every day, loves his adoptive parents very much, who support him in everything.
Past family
His main pain was his own mother, who could not cope with stress and began to abuse alcohol, she abandoned her own son, who so needed the support of a loved one. Even before birth, Sasha's mother knew that the child would be born with a congenital defect, but she refused to have an abortion.
As Sasha himself says, the first years of his life were good enough, they did not live richly, but his mother took care of him. How long it lasted, he does not remember. But then the woman was unable to cope with emotions.
Now Sasha confesses that he has long forgiven his own mother for the cruel treatment of him and does not hold any grudge against her.
His mother was deprived of parental rights due to constant assault and drunkenness, the woman says that she regrets all her actions. The only memories from Sasha's childhood were the days when he sat by the window and waited for his mother to return.
His own father never raised a hand on him, but, just like his mother, he loved to drink, so all the money was spent on buying strong drinks, and Sasha was constantly in a half-starved state. When Sasha's father was also deprived of parental rights, the boy ended up in a boarding school for the disabled, where he lived for five long years.
Sasha quickly made friends, as he was very kind and smart. When he was 14 years old, reporters from the first channel came to the boarding house, they wanted to shoot a story about the life of a "crystal boy".
