Chapter 2
My parents
It all started when my parents had to prove that they were worthy to adopt children. (I mean, any idiot can get pregnant and then give birth to children she doesn't want to take care of....but that's another subject. And it's very complicated because it's about responsibility etc. and don’t get me wrong about this: I know that I sound very placative. But let me telly you, I know that there are many sensitive different levels and
perspectives on this topic… I am fully aware of that).🙏🙏🙏
My parents had to prove that they were able to maintain a family. That they had space enough for the children, that they had enough time to take care of them. That they Educate them religiously "correctly". Even the village priest gave my parents a critical interview!
And also the private community did not exactly react with applause and understanding.Friendships were broken, people flinched and turned away from them because nobody could understand why they wanted to adopt an Indian child.
Even my grandfather was devilish as he found out about my parents' adoption plans. He was completely against it (well, when my parents then laid my older brother as 9 months old baby in his arms, he immediately melted away with adoration as he held this incredibly sweet black-eyed baby... :)
I've lost myself in this subject today...it's just so emotional when I think about all these stories my mother told me...
But yeah... "risky" and "courageous", that's what I'm talking about next week.
I wish you a wonderful week my lovely Insta fam. Kiki 💖 ... See more
