i have been a lurker for about 2 months before I joined here today to try and connect with my fellow Somalis as I didn’t not have that opportunity growing up.
So I’m 24 year old who was fostered by white Swedish family since the age of 4 and my first time to meet a Somali was not until high school where I met this two sisters ( one in my class). As I lived in a tiny village with population of 2400 people up until high school.
I have very good relationship with my foster family to date though the dad died 2 years ago (RIP). I really never felt Somali up until the age of 19 where I started uni and started hanging with Somalis to play football with them on Friday’s. I have also not connected to my family until I was 18 of which our relationship has not been good except a male cousin who is 23.
So has anyone of you been at adoption or foster family? And if so what was your experience.
