When I was nine months old, I came to the Netherlands from Colombia. To this day, I have no idea where I lived for the first nine months of my life or who my biological

family is.

I never made a point of this, although it was confronting when I realized my daughter Yael and later my son Jonah were nine months old themselves. My mother came to get me in Colombia, which I still think is a callous action of her.  She and my father waited for my arrival for many years. She first held me in her arms and immediately felt: “This is my child.”
