[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This little boy will probably never know who his parents are. His mother abandoned him when he was just a few days old, and they did not find out until later that she had given a false name and a nonexistent address. In order to give him a birth certificate, they had to make up a last name for him! Now he is 4 years old and living in a very nice children's home. I think it is wonderful that he is able to live in such a good place!

Today he decided that I am his friend. It is only the third time I have ever seen him, and I don't really speak his language, but for some friendships no words are needed. You only need a willingness to spend time together, a few shared smiles, and a small hand eagerly tugging at a larger hand.

When I took this picture, I think he was telling me that he didn't want his picture taken, but I managed to snatch a quick photo anyway!

Hi Erin,
I readed that you live now in my country and you like here, I'm glad for that.
Your children portrait is pretty good, colors, dof and clarity, just the red pillar from the right it's a little bit disturbing.
Thank you for sharing!
