At 71, he did not simply move to another country—he chose to become responsible for another human life. Adoption is more than kindness; it is a lifelong commitment that can transform both the child and the parent.

Ma’am, you have to be cautious and I don’t blame you for that ,to me. It’s healthy that you’re so cautious. I have adopted a little boy when he was seven years old. Now he’s 18. I’ve been sending him to the nursing school in the island of Leyte , Tacloban city Philippines.

Caution is not unreasonable, there are so many stories out there. Could it have been done other ways, maybe, but you did nothing wrong and thankfully it all worked out. The next person who does this may have very different results and find out the hard way of very bad intentions. You did good.
