There is nothing more terrible for children than to become unnecessary for their own parents! There are more than 20 thousand such children in the orphanages of Belarus – they are orphans even though their parents are alive. However, the miracles of mercy do happen! Eugene and Natalia Dubnikov know this. They have had three children, and they have taken four more kids from an orphanage. Not all of their friends and colleagues understood why they did it. Their family has been living on the border between love and indifference, faith and unbelief ever since. Their new home is also on the border between Lithuania and Belarus, on the shore of a picturesque lake.
