What uh do you feel like his because it sounds like he's got , you know , he's definitely questioning his , his current position and which is a very common thing Yeah , it's a very common thing for adopted Children to feel that way , especially , you know , feeling abandonment or feeling acceptance and one , they're stuck in their past a lot and they don't know how to break through or filter through that because all they focus on is , well , they're , they're trying to figure out reality from current purpose , uh , and what their purpose is and their past reality is like my real parents so called real parents didn't want me . And now these are my fake parents because that's what society says . Exactly .
So our next best thing was to be put back into foster care and we were put back into foster care for about another six years where we bounced up and down around the east coast and then landed into a semi permanent home for the latter part of our foster care experience . And then we were blessed enough to be adopted at the ages of eight and six by two amazing individuals . Yeah .

You know , our time with our adopted parents was very short lived as well and we wound up losing both of them in our mid twenties to two extreme situations .

Actually , he struggled with it . He wasn't a kid and he was just like , uh uh you know , well , how do I know that they love me or , you know , my , the parents that uh let me be adopted , how do like , you don't know what it's like because that feels like they don't , they didn't love me or I wasn't enough and he struggled with that and it was wild to see . I mean , I'm , everyone has their own struggles , even people in that quote unquote , stuck with the family they got , you know what I mean ?
That's a different story than like look at the parents you have , they're like , amazing , they love you so much . There's people with blood parents that don't get that love , right ? So like what really matters here and I was just trying to come at it from that standpoint , but I don't know if I , yeah , I , you know , it , it sometimes in the current situations of , you know , just in this particular realm of foster Children and adoption Children coming at it from .
