Oh, I’m glad to see one of these again!
Awe, an open, curious, and honest child who has not been allowed to be indoctrinated into religion early on.
Note the last statement.
NICE!!! If ppl could return to common sense, what a world this could be!
Aww so cute especially the last statement. A wishful thinking but if only adults have the same loving attitude towards others that are different from them whether on faith,culture and background,we wouldn’t be seeing war etc.
How old is this child?
Wendy,
The age of the child is stated in each interview.
I see that now. I’m kinda surprised he doesn’t know more about the USA at that age.
Liana has not yet been in the US for a year and arrived without knowing any English. She is an amazing young girl and was adopted by some very special and dear people to me.
Oh, that’s exciting! Welcome, Liana! How do you say her name? I thought it was a form of “lee anna,” but maybe not?
That’s pretty close, Susanne!
That explains it then.
