WHO ARE WE

We are Selam and Andiy. After Natnael passed away we wanted to continue his task of teaching children about their country of origin and helping families to find their stories.
This blog is to teach the children that go abroad something about their birth country and to give to the adoptive parents a way to search the biological family of their child.

Is important what you tell your children about themselves.

PAPERS


I start to have some experience about the papers of the children, and is really not easy to be able to believe that everything is true. Sometimes there are inexact things, sometimes all is true, sometimes there are more false things than the true ones. In this last case from my point of view without searching the real story is difficult to explain your child where does he come from and why.

If everything is true always is nice to put into images the story of the child. he or she doesn't need to create an image of the biological parents, but he can just have it, even sometimes there can be found information about the large family that is not referred on the papers, for example about the grandparents or brothers and sisters.

If here are inexact things is always good to put the things in the right place, may be in the papers say there was a neighbor who was caring the child and in fact was an aunt or a grandmother. And also to know it is profitable. Normally family keeps a mother picture or at least they can explain who she was and what she did.

If the false is more than the truth at least you can say we don't really know who you are. I say so because sometimes two children have the same papers, and of course one of the two is not the owner of the story. Or sometimes, if the family is lucky it can be found people that in the papers is died or disappeared.

Sometimes to see the true files of a child or to get an answer the people ask me to pay something, it creates  me questions, because to pay is a easy way to get what the family wants, but also a way to make bigger the corruption...
