I think Igor was so lucky to have Barbara. She has such a great sensitivity to Igor's struggles yet no arrogance to pretend she completely understands his experiences. She has so much respect for Igor, love and admiration, yet honors his independence and believes in his abilities. What a great caretaker and parental figure she became for him. So grounded and loving - probably one in a thousand or one in a million. Lovely people. xo

There are angels on Earth disguised as people. Barbara is one of the very best of the angels. Bless her lovely heart! : )

He sure was fortunate to get such a loving foster mom. She is pretty remarkable!!

He's married now with two children living near London!! Still very handsome!

Igor lives a happy life with a wife and 2 kids in London today. It's nice to see such an inspired child like Igor live out a happy life, even with such unfortunate disabilities.

I can see Lily was doing what she thought was best, but it is so obvious she doesn't understand a boy of 9 years old! It must also have been quite daunting for Igor to have someone in his face so much, sadly I think he would have been much more open to things if it hadn't been pushed down his throat by Lily! I wonder what he feels now looking back on himself at this age! Barbara has been an amazing woman and we need so many more of her in this world x

Igor. You are a beautiful person. I love you. From an old woman in New Zealand

It’s so wonderful to see that Barbara, and Igor stayed together. I was immensely concerned that he would be forced back to Belarus. He doesn’t need to be cuddled, or coddled anymore because he has security.

I feel a little bad for Lily. She's getting older and the one person she loves has changed so much. it's good for him but its hard to lose someone you love no matter in what form

Barbara is such a wonderful parent and just an amazing human being!

Such an amazing story. Barbara should be a role model to all Foster parents out there. I loved reading the article about how Igor is doing now. He looks like a very happy family man indeed!

I just have to day that this world doesn’t crumble down thanks to women that take all this weight of caring and nurturing children no matter their condition or disabilities like the ones in this documentary. Thank them, support them!!

I just fell in love with this kid! Hard to imagine he's all grown up now with a little family of his own. He may have been born disfigured, but God gifted him with so much heart and joy that it's all you can see!

The scenes with Lilly were so sad. She was just an old lady who probably wasn't altogether there mentally. She clearly didn't process that Igor was not a baby anymore. And as far as Igor's reluctance to speak Russian or connect with his ethnicity - I came to the U.S. from another country at Igor's age, and even though I didn't have his physical issues, I didn't want any connection to my ethnicity either. I was embarrassed when my parents would try to force me to use my native language, I just wanted to be American. That changed as I became an adult of course. But I think those kinds of experiences are probably common to many kids coming from a less developed country to a more developed one, regardless of anything else.

Wow Barbara and Roy are Angels there is truly a special place in heaven for them. Bless them

he's actually 25 now is married with 2 kids of his own. And he's also in touch with his birth mum who didn't abandon him they forced her to give him up as soon as he was born.

His mother did not give him up, the government took him away as soon as he was born and she never got to see him and was denied even knowing if he was alive or not. The government was trying to hide the explosion from the public, and as he was the first case they panicked and wanted to keep him hidden away. Luckily as an adult he was able to reconnect with his birth parents and two siblings

This story touched my heart. That women loves that boy like her own child. I read an update on Igor and he's married with children and now lives next to his mother in England. How awesome is that? God is good!!

The way he called her mum is amazing ❤️❤️

Olga is a gorgeous young lady. I love that there are families that do this.

he has the prettiest face!

That poor old woman saved Igor and just wanted to love and adore him and ended up so out of touch. What a lovely little boy and such a caring family

Throughout all of these documentaries all I can say is Barbara it truly an amazing woman

Damn he runs fast.

His country failed him, so why wouldn't he want to become a citizen of the developed country that helped him? I pray that he's more at peace with himself and that he has a great life now.

I felt really bad for Igor when he was visually uncomfortable with that old woman. Also I think if he wants to change his name because his other name gives him painful memories he should. I'd totally support that.

This Lilly lady I know meant well but she was so overwhelming...

Amazing woman to take such care of igor!!.. humanity at it's finest!!

Update: Igor is now 29 with a wife and two children of his own❤️🙏🏽😭

what a wonderful foster mum!

yes ! so happy to see this 2nd part !

Looked him up on fb and he had a beautiful wife and two beautiful children. Truly happy for him.

Thanks for posting this wonderful documentary, I've learnt a lot from watching it, we all need to appreciate and make the most out of every moment, there are no guarantees that there will be a tomorrow, be grateful for the life you have.

IGOR, you are a great inspiration to the world, I would be proud to have as my son, Please continue to be the great inspiration to everyone, you are beautiful

That scene of him and lily in the backyard broke my heart. The poor kid doesn't want to remember all of the suffering of his past

His name is Igor Pavlovets. You can search on the internet about him. I'm so happy for him. Igor is married and also has children.

Damn the old lady was annoying but I can see how she doesn't want him to forget where he came from.

Today is June 2, 2018. I watched the first part of the documentary and I don't know how many times I cried about his story. Igor is such an adorable boy.

He runs faster than me when I saw him run my first thought was "DAMN!"

He is such a beautiful boy :) god bless him

He has a facebook page! He is married, has kids and looks so happy! Makes my heart just glow*** Amazing what love can do!

He sure has grown up. You have done well mum!

God bless Barbara and Igor. I've never been so happy to see a complete stranger have a beautiful wife and kids!!

igor's sun glasses are dope.

Wow, had literally watched the other documentary the other day and this comes out

Igor has came out of his shell so much since the last episode :')

Igor has a beautiful soul.....I would love to know how he is doing now...this documentary made me sad....but once I saw his whole story it made me happy....that he over came the situation that life deal him.....igor is a god..............

Scouts was the best activity for me to build my confidence so it's lovely to see you enjoying it as a child Igor x

Watching this, I’m not ashamed to admit tears have cried many times. Igors spirit is awesome ,his mum , angelic, positive and full of love and life.

Omg that’s so sad, the elder lady that forces Igor to say and talk his language, that’s just out right wrong! And it’s her dream, not his., she needs to realize that HIS dreams are more important than her own!

"Nice one, Allen!" I lost it. I hope he remains in England. He shouldn't be in an institute.

Igor . You are huge. Your vest for life, and the passion with which you attack challenges is brilliant, You are successful & strong now, maybe you are just a bit young to see it. The thing that stood out in the documentary is your character + a cheeky face. Inspiring !!!!

OMGosh...what a story...so happy to see he is married now with children...I'm so happy that you have a great life... Love from the USA 🇺🇸

This is such a bitter sweet story. Barbara, you are an Angel. Thank you for your enduring love for Igor. The documentary should have gone farther into your family and Igor's journey. I did see some of the comments about him and his family later in his life. I pray all is well with him and you also. I would like to know how things worked out for all of you. You have the patience of Job, God bless you all. Igor was Blessed to have found you, and you to have found him. God has a plan. Thank you, I too am a foster parent of 21 years and I adopted one along with my 3 biological and 2 Grandchildren. P.S. I have had 128 foster children.

Barbara!!!!! You’re the best! You’re his hero. I applaud you! Igor what determination. You amaze me! Congrats on all your accomplishments

He is married and has 3 children now they are still living in London and doing great 👍. Well done Igor you are inspiration...

I don't like the way that this lady Lily is trying to push Igor to speak Russian again, she is there for a visit. This little boy is growing up in a new and different world and he should really not have been pushed to talk or relive his past life that he wants to forget about.

I'm on the documentary climbing out of the pool at Cub Camp. My Dad is the Cub Leader who goes and does the flag with Igor at the camp as well. It was a great time, that was 1996 and we used to go to Cubs together every Wednesday. Igor still lives in the local area but I haven'y spoken to him in years.

Igor pavlovets is doing really well . He’s married with three children (2 boys and 1 girl). He still lives in London working as a painter. He was able to meet his birth parents. He found out the truth that he was taken from his birth parents and forcibly placed in an orphanage. His birth parents were extremely excited to meet him and vice versa.

I love this story of Igor.. broke my heart when he’d say he didn’t want to go back to Russia and always made sure that Barbara was coming back to him when he’d leave to school. I would love to adopt him!! 😪❤️❤️

He reminds me of my 3 year old son, they have very similar facial features and both have such a strong independence! What a beautiful spirit!

What made me sad was every time they showed him playing at home he was alone. I know he had camp and organized sports at school but they never showed him with his friends. Apparently he had girlfriends. Heck, what girl wouldn't want a handsome vibrant boy like he? I'm glad he eventually found one who looked at his abilities instead of his disabilities.

Watching these makes me really want to adopt!

I'm really interested to see how his life has turned out, he should be in his mid 30-s now. Would be cool if someone find and interview him now. Hope he stayed in UK. I'm from Kiev and my father had been involved as ' liquidator' from day one - all the support for Chernobyl victims was cut down couple of years ago(

I was wading through the Internet when I encountered Igor's story. I do not think I will be quite the same again. I discovered part of my humanity that rarely gets sensed. Thank you for this cinematography.

Barbara is an angel.. she loves him unconditionally... 🙏🏼

I was reluctant to trust Barbara at 1st, but I 💗💕 her to bits now. Igor stole my heart from the start!! best feeling documentary literally ever!

Incredible humans! Barbara gave this little angel a new life ! I wish him the best. May he have a long happy life .

this little handsome boy grew into a handsome man who is married with three beautiful children!! I am speechless and happy that he has a real chance at life.

His English is fantastic at this point too!

hi all :) if anyone was wondering (just like i was) Igor is thriving! i think he's around 30 now, but he is married to a lovely lady and has two healthy kids.

What a courageous young lad. God bless his foster mom and the dedicated drs

Just letting you guys know, Igor is now married and has 3 children, he works as a home designer for his own business and is overall seemingly content as he jokes on Facebook that, “ you shouldn’t look too high or you will miss me!” He doesn’t seem to wear any prosthetics nowadays but I can’t be totally sure. I am just glad he is doing well!

Bless you Barbara bless you for showering only what a true mother can do and that's your unconditional love!

Poor kid. That old lady scares me :/

Thank God for Barbara. She is an Angel. Wish all fosters parents were like her. Nothing but pure love and understanding. Sadly we get foster parents in it for the wrong reasons. I pray he goes on to live a happy productive life.

One can't blame the lad for wanting to forget his past, there truly are Angels here on earth.

He's such a handsome guy

Igor is blessed to have a dedicated foster mother. With her by his side he can do anything.

the other vid had a comment that he didn't have "the main bone" in his legs and that isn'true - he has both femur (hip to knee) and tibia (knee to ankle) , they are just very small. Too bad they weren't doing as much with stem cell therapy at that time.

Was looking through videos during the Covid19 lockdown and came across this. So glad that I know Igor. Haven't seen him in awhile but have some great memories with him, especially getting out of it in Ibiza.

What a beautiful boy . I’m sure he has grown into an incredible young man . Grounded and able to do anything he wanted . Xo 2022

How terribly sad, for Igor and Olga. God bless Barbara. How fortunate we are in America

He has a family and children

Id be honored to have any of these beautiful babies, its such a shame that they are just abandoned 😭😭😭😢😢😢

Broke my heart when he walked away from his grandma bless he felt too overwhelmed to handle her i felt as though the adoptive mum should of made him learn Russian before that moment other than that she is a very beautiful caring adoptive mum thank u for looking after this little boy!

I saw this story about the courage little Igorabout a year ago. I remember that I watched it several times and I've watched it a couple of times again. This beautiful boy is just astounding. He reminds me of my second grandchild. Even his spirit is like my Elias. I call him "my sweet boy."

How is he doing now? Such a brilliant lucky young man. God bless everyone who was there for him.

Both Igor and his new mom deserve awards of some sort. What amazing ppl!

This broke my heart, I wept several times, especially when I saw the scene at the airport. I hope this wonderful kid will eventually get the prosthesis he needs, that would do wonders for his motility and especially for his emotional well being. I think it will be possible, I've seen worse cases where it was done successfully.

the foster mom is amazing... i hope all fosters mom... similar to her... hugs hugs hugs.... she is so nice and full of love.....

Barbara reminds me of my foster mum who loved me so much even when she had seven of her own kids to deal with. Much love ❤

I loved this story, he was the cutest boy. Many people showed him love... Love watching how excited he gets playing sports.

That crazy old woman! All Christians are not weird like this. That woman was too much! She should have been loving after seeing the child after two years. She's too much!

Why did they leave him alone with Lila??? She's an old lady who has gone through two heart attacks and radiation. She probably has mental issues. Wtf 1990s

Bless You Barbara! Much love, patience, humor, friendships, and joy to You Igor and a dog! I have many!

I hope he has a long happy life. that sweet boy deserves it

That whole situation with the will was way too much for him to understand at that time... so sad.

Glad you had a update on Igor should change his name.. Has Igor seen other children with the same problems so he doesn't think he's alone.. He need's to see show's and photo's of other's and away to talk to them via the computer.. SAD to see Igor OVERWHELMED.. That was a bit much.. Glad to see you all getting on with your life as a family.. Can't wait for the ADOPTION HINT HINT.. Can't believe this has been out for 4 years.. GOODNESS....Giving THANKS you have more.. Keep up the good work Igor.. Your in our THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.. Seattle, Washington

Barbara is a Saint!!
