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 .
So there was a lot of loss and a lot of that experience , you know , and , you know , fast forwarding a little bit further . 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 . So , you know , not many people can say they've lost two sets of parents in , in a lifetime .
I was like , I have abandonment issues and I wasn't , I don't think I was ever abandoned . Maybe you grew up with both your parents . So like , it's , it's interesting how like we all share common um struggles and trials and Yeah .
Like your blood parents , whatever . 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 ?
And so everything I do , I really try to honor them in that space . And in answering your question , that my child was very accelerated and the sense that I had to step into roles at a very young age that I wasn't prepared for like being a father figure to my brother . Um have he , we're 2.5 years apart .
