“How is it to be raised in an orphanage? That’s the question I get asked all the time. You don’t have a family?… So, what does it feel like to be alone in the world? The truth is that I grew up surrounded by people who love me, people who make me feel special and protected and who never let me feel alone. When I cry, they cry with me when I laugh, they are in heaven. The truth is that I grew up with my family, with two wonderful mothers and such a loving father, talented brothers, and sisters. The truth is that I did not grow up in an orphanage, I grew up at home with my family that I love very much.” – Widelene
