A kind-hearted woman adopted a child that no one else wanted: See what he looks like now

Nicky had a wonderful family, a loving husband, and an amazing daughter from her first marriage.

But the thought that had been deeply rooted in her mind since childhood never left her. Nicky dreamed of adopting a child and giving them a true family, love, and care.

Her husband supported her, and together they decided to bring a child home from an orphanage. They reviewed many profiles but chose a child who had no chance of being adopted by others.

Rustam was born with numerous deformities. When his mother saw her son, she abandoned him. It was her own fault, as she had led an unhealthy lifestyle throughout her pregnancy.

The boy had congenital facial abnormalities, couldn’t eat independently, and was fed through a tube. Additionally, Rustam did not speak at all and was developmentally delayed.

He was born with only one leg. Doctors did their best to restore his facial features.

Nicky admitted that she wasn’t afraid when she first saw the boy. Her immediate thought was how she and her husband could help him.

“For a moment, the thought crossed my mind, ‘What have we done?’ but then I quickly began thinking practically—after all, there was so much to do,” Nicky shared.

Exactly one year has passed since the adoption. The parents taught their son how to walk, first using crutches and later with a prosthetic leg. The child has been working diligently with a speech therapist, and now others can understand his speech.

Nicky said that initially, people around them and other children were wary of Rustam and laughed at him. They were afraid to play with him on the same playground and rejected the unusual child.

At one point, Nicky decided to create an Instagram account to share her son’s story with the world.

She began uploading photos and sharing interesting moments from their lives.

Rustam’s page quickly gained popularity. The media became interested in the boy’s story, and Nicky and her son started appearing as guests on various television shows.

Nicky is teaching her son not to be ashamed of his appearance and tries to help him understand that a person’s soul is what truly matters.

Rustam still has a long journey ahead of him, but his loving family will always be there to support and stand by him.

“He is our happiness,” Nicky says about her beloved son.
