Everyone here affectionately calls me "Charlie Brown". I was abandoned by my mother at the maternity hospital, where I stayed until I was almost 2 years old. That is when I went to live at the orphanage. My mother never visited me, and finally she consented to relinquish her parental rights so that I could be made available for adoption. In November 2000 I entered the Healing Hands Rehabilitation Program and later moved in with my foster family. We live near Timisoara.
