4 years ago I came to Cambodia for the first time with a friend and we both fell in love with the country and decided to buy a house. Finally we bought land in Siem-Reap and built a house on it. June 2006 my wife an I went to PP to buy some furniture for the house and because we had some time left, our driver who is also working for a orphanage, asked us if we wanted to visit his orphanage about 40km outside PP.
When we arrived 2 girls came to us and stayed with us all the time and after we left he told us that their parents brought them 5 years ago and would come back after 1 year to get them out again witch they never did. The girls wanted to be adopted but because parents did not sign a paper they could not leave the country. We asked if we could do something for them, but one of the girls also had a brother so if we would do something then we had to do it for the 3 children or just for 1. We decided to adopt as god children all 3,we bought a house for them in SR and hired a nanny.
September 2006 we went to pick them up at the orphanage and since then they live in SR,this is the reason we go to Cambodia every 2 months when we arrive nanny goes to here family and the children live with us.We are very proud and happy to have them they are great children and it works very good also with our own children as you can see in picture.
Best regards,
