""There is nothing in our early childhood that even begins to resemble a normal childhood. In the orphanages, we experienced and were exposed to sexual abuse and violence.

I will forever roam the world with this shiny name that I was given. I truly was given it, and above all, I was given my parents." — on his adoptive parents"
