Yohannes life as a foster child and then being adopted.
Yohannes talked about being adopted and how his life became a puzzle that had to be put together with he and his parents
Yohannes also said that parents need to put themselves in the child’s shoes. And how what is said to a child and the tone has to be processed by the child and negativity is a bad place to be
HE IS WELL SPOKEN PERSON. THE PAIN IS STILL THERE.

Yohannes’ story is very interesting. Although he suffered somewhat, he found trust with the people around him. His experience with his adopted parent didn’t block him from excelling. His story should be shared with both adult and other foster child (teenagers). The inner feeling about the birth parents is always there.
I tell my adopted son to share his feelings with me
