if you really love your children you will protect them not abuse them.
I feel sorry for both sides of the families since their warfare has been going on for so long that it tour the family apart instead of bringing them closer.Īn abusive father, a mother who lives in fear, children in the middle of their wargames lose both parents in the end.ĭaniel may be struggling for the moment but sometimes struggling is what makes us stronger in the end. He seems to want to provide for his child and ensure that his child does not go through what he went through. I cannot tell anyone you have to forgive because each person must make that chose for themselves and it has to come from within in order for you to have peace in your life and hope that someday relationships can be restored.ĭaniel is due to have a child this summer and lives in a small studio with his girlfriend. in my personal option forgiveness can be one of the hardest things to do. Some will struggle with the fact that they were abandoned and will not forgive as easily as some have been able to. There’s so much pain and anger between the family that I wondered if this could ever be resolved to where Marina does not have to scared and for the kids not to feel abandoned. Daniel is angry with Marina (Michael’s birth mother) for abandoning him and his sister. The following morning Michael’s brother Daniel wants to see his brother so we make a drive to is work while he takes a ten minute break to meet with us. I saw that Irina Fodor was deeply affected by the Grandmother’s tears and her story.Īfter seeing my story on La Maruta in 2015 with my adoptive mom (Marlys Ruckel) she had hopes that one day Michael would return, but she never thought that I would be with the family as they arrived. Irina did all the interviews their while I watched and even a reporter can be effected by an interview. The time has finally arrived when we get to the grandmother’s house and while we keep the family in the van Irina and I get out first to interview the grandmother. this is the best bread I have ever had, said Luke and Connor. Luke and Connor could not get enough of the Romanian bread and ordered it at every restaurant we went to. We took them to a Romanian traditional folk Restaurant.
Sean (michael’s father) Connor and Luke ( In far back Michael’s brothers) in center is Jodi Slein, michael’s mother and at far right is Michael.Īs the family lands in Bucharest Romania for the first time since the adoption we all drive to a restaurant to get the family a meal before driving on a three hour journey to visit Michael’s grandmother in Slatina.
I hoped that Michael’s reunion would be a great one and that everything would be just as he wanted in a reunion. No one can know how you will be affected or changed by a reunion until you are their. No one can see how or know how reunions turn out until the time comes. I had talked with Jodi and Michael several times before we departed to Romania and I hoped that I would never see a family reunion that went horribly wrong. It is important that the adoptees understand the good and the bad effects of a reunion and if something were to go wrong they would at least be prepared for the worst to come. I traveled to Romania a day ahead of everyone since PROTV and Maruta had allowed me to work on the family’s story with another journalist named Irina Fodor, who is well experienced in covering the stories on adoption and reunions.
My Journey begins with the Slein family who had adopted Michael Slein back in 1999 and soon after Jodi’s sister adopted Andrian from Medias, Romania. It’s not every day I travel to Romania to assist a family with a reunion case and work with a network to get their story aired on Romanian television to give people hope that adoption has indeed saved lives and when children are given the opportunity in life they can grow and do great things in life.
