    It's so sad when the babies sooth themselves by rocking for hours. I would have loved to cuddle and rain kisses all day long! It's just heart breaking.

    Will's level of empathy and intelligence is amazing.

    I’m a survivor of the Romanian orphanages. I was born in 1995 in orphanage #3 Bucharest Romania. To this day I am still scared of the dark and when I was younger I was scared of cold water. Despite the troubles that Romania has faced I will always have pride in my country and where I came from. No country is perfect we just do what you can to make it better every day. 🇷🇴💪🏼

    I felt heart sorry for Will's birth mother, her letter to Will was very moving. The fact she didn't go on to have more children as she felt she didn't deserve any after giving Will up for adoption is so sad.. and the gift she had for him while waiting to meet him made me cry. I hope her meeting him has enabled her to move on emotionally and feel more at peace, that her son grew up happy and healthy once adopted.

    Nikki meeting her Romanian grandfather is so great. You can see he clearly loved his granddaughter so much and he was devastated when she was given up..

    My Auntie and Uncle adopted a child from the Orphanage in Romania in 1988/89. I was a long battle for the child to settle in a family life. The boy was only 2 and a half years old. He is now a lawyer in Italy.

    &quot;I could wreck someone&apos;s life really&quot; ... coming from the mouth of a child who&apos;s mother abandoned him. :( Amazing empathy.

    I knew a lady that would go over to Romania just to take supplies,hugs,and kisses to the children of the orphanages.She would go once a year back in the early 90&apos;s. she worked all year in order to raise money for the trip and the much needed &quot;Everything&quot; to make each trip of two weeks..She said it was heartbreaking to watch them rock back and forth as away to self soothe themselves..She is gone now but I know that her star shines brighter in the heavens for all of the work and love that she gave to those babies that were living in horrendous conditions..

    I was born in 1988 in Targu Mures,Romania, lived in an orphanage and got adopted in 1990 as first Romanian in The Netherlands by two amazing parents (Dutch). Never forget where you come from. I&apos;m blessed and so thankful to God.

    So sad for Nicci to find out she was the result of a fling and was given up due to her mums new man, and not because they couldn&apos;t afford to keep her. Happy she found her Romanian grandad.
