I was fortunate to have adoptive parents that were of Greek decent. I’ve never searched for who brought me into this world. All I know is I was born twords the end of revolution after WWII. I’m now 77 years old and thankful to have been housed in the Patras Orphanage. I hate to think of what happened to the lost children of Greece, as depicted in the movie Eleni.

my wife and I adopted two sisters ages 5 and 6 in 1999. When the girls were about 16, we sat down and talked about my life. the focus was simple. 10$ of me was DNA, 90% was my environment. Life is all about how you meet challenges, how you respect others, and above all, how proud you ate about your heritage. I’m an American Citizen, But I’m more Greek than many Greeks born in the USA.
