Penticton, British Columbia

To begin I couldn't imagine how hard it must be to make the decision! I would in the vein of my heart like to thank you for taking me in consideration in this difficult matter. I have two sons and one is only 3 months his name Diem who is only 2 years old and my oldest son Germany and they mean the world to me. Not only did there mother leave them when Diem was born, I am also the only superior figure they look up to I can't leave them behind. You don't understand the circumstances these boys have been through, they need me. I understand at hand there are many other abroad this ship however some of them have have already lived there life there time is up. You couldn't possibly break us apart.
