Russia (bbabo.net), - 20 years ago, the Skomorokh spouses were diagnosed with infertility. And now they have ... the 12th child. The daughter was named Love. They already have Hope and Faith.

- Now, probably, to the valiant daughters we also need Sophia - the wisdom of God, - the head of the large family, Oleg Skomorokh, smiles.

There are seven boys and five girls in total. By the date of birth of children, one can judge the well-being of the family.

Pavel appeared 18 years ago, now he is studying in college as a biochemist, after him was born Lisa - she is 16, Vasya - 14.

And then my mother fell ill, literally dried up before her eyes. The scales showed 40 kilograms, everything fell out of hand.

Nothing helped to breathe the same strength into her. Doctors once again shrugged their shoulders. According to them, the neoplasm was to blame.

Then Oleg began to visit church more often, praying for the health of his beloved. And suddenly the tumor resolved after the next pregnancy.

The family began to grow in children again: Maria is ten years old, followed by almost the same weather Mikhail, Nikolay, Ivan, Seraphim, Nadezhda, Alexey, Vera, and now Lyuba.

They ate, taught their homework, even the children took turns sleeping. Housing for large families in the region is not allowed, and a house in an open field where land plots are allocated cannot be built on maternity capital

Everyone came to the hospital for discharge to get to know my sister.

- Do you think five is hard to bring up? Hard. And seven? Very hard. Twelve is a titanic work. It starts at six in the morning and ends well if at midnight. Everyone needs to be looked at, fed, put on shoes, dressed, - says the father of the family.

Oleg Skomorokh went through several "hot spots", he has wounds behind his shoulders, and military awards on his chest.

After the army, he was a truck driver for a long time. Now he works as a security guard and helps in the service in several churches in Penza.

The wife copes with the children alone. Older children help. The bread maker, washing machine and vacuum cleaner do not rest in this family. To seat everyone at the table, you need to boil a bucket and bake three baking sheets of pies. Fortunately, my mother is a pastry chef by profession.

- I always wanted to be a mom. For me, this is the most important purpose. This is my destiny, - says Svetlana Skomorokh.

She herself grew up without a mother. She knows what an orphanage is and tears flowing down her cheeks: "I want to see my mother!" The mother was deprived of parental rights, at that time she had five - a small small less. All from the orphanage were taken to her by grandmother and put on their feet, gave a profession. Svetlana is grateful to her for everything, especially for worldly wisdom. The grandmother said: "If God gave a child, he will also give a child."

How many times has Svetlana seen women, as if beaten with grief, go for an abortion? She could not understand what was driving them.

Of course, it was easy and she never had it. But it is worth looking at the next pink nose sniffing in the cradle, as all the hardships of life are forgotten.

This year, the large family finally moved to their own home. Before that they huddled in a two-room apartment. They ate, learned their homework, even slept in turns. Housing for large families is not allowed in the region. And on the maternity capital, a house in an open field, where land plots are allocated, cannot be built. And banks do not issue mortgage loans to such large families, even if they have guarantors.

The Skomorokh family was helped by the whole world. With the help of charitable donations collected with the help of the Union of Women of Russia, they managed to buy a house for almost eight million rubles with an area of ​​300 square meters.

Housewarming became for them the happiest moment of the outgoing year.

True, when they settled in, they realized that the more rooms, the more problems. The regional branch of the Union of Women of Russia, represented by Olga Chistyakova, came to the rescue again. She dropped the cry again and helped buy five beds with bedding for the children.

The kids now have a playroom and their own playground in the yard. The elders help in the greenhouse to grow vegetables and herbs for the table.

A pandemic, a vaccine, trips abroad - how many copies are broken in social networks around these burning topics, and in the Skomorokh's house they are discussing how to decorate a real Christmas tree. Previously, there was no room for her, but now you can arrange a real round dance. And play out the play.

It's not scary that mass events are still banned. There are so many talents under one roof that you can arrange a song of the year, an ice show, and then also demonstration performances in hand-to-hand combat.

The loudest discussion is about where to fill a hill in the yard so that the greenhouse does not suffer and does not slip when leaving your own bathhouse.

The house, which the family inherited from the previous owners, even has a fireplace. True, there is practically no time to kindle it.

- Here comes Christmas Eve, and then ... - Mom dreams.

But screams are heard from the nursery, which means it's time to drop everything and run to help.

Competently
