I spent my life searching for family. I travelled around the world to look each one of them in the eye. Unfortunately, but understandably, for most of them, I am their biggest disappointment. Hearing your name being called when no one is around is actually so common that it's been studied scientifically. From a psychological perspective, there is not a direct correlation between this and further mental health issues. So what does it mean from a scientific perspective? My mother just came to [England] and found herself pregnant and I was stolen from her. In Ethiopia right now they do not allow international adoptions to happen anymore. There is no land grab in Ethiopia for children, it has stopped because it became so vile, so offensive and ugly. Hotels would be filled with desperate [western] couples taking children, with parents in Ethiopia thinking that their children would be returning to them one day. The Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed is himself an adopting parent. When the leader of a country both stops international adoption and adopts himself, you know that you're in good hands and you know that the administration is seeing something ugly.

Hearing your name is the entrance point to receiving guidance, it is an initial alert, like a telephone ringing letting you know there is someone on the other end of the line wishing to speak to you. This receptive state happens frequently as you're drifting off to sleep and right when you wake up in the morning. Again, this is the hypnogogic state, and when you're in it, your ego mind is much quieter and more receptive to allowing messages from Spirit to flow through to you that would normally be filtered out. A part of what your ego mind does is focus your awareness in the physical plane, but when your ego is half asleep, the higher spiritual realms have a way of flowing through to you. This is a deeply moving memoir that speaks with incredible poeticism. A staggering exposé of colonial theft and abandonment, this book is grippingly heartbreaking" (DAVID LAMMY) Lemn, Sissay (30 October 2012). "When I left care they said I was a great survivor". The Guardian . Retrieved 3 April 2013. So it was that at the age of 12, Sissay found himself removed from the Greenwood home and shunted around care facilities where staff were disinterested in their charges. During this time his behaviour became erratic as he struggled to consolidate his self-image in the face of indifference from some quarters and outright hostility from others. One gets the heavy sense of a soul adrift without any of the grounding that family and shared history can offer. As Sissay observes:

In 2015, Sissay brought a legal case against the UK government for critical mistakes in the social care he received as a child. The government settled the case out of court in 2018. Even if hearing your name was just an auditory memory response, that physiological response comes to you in the exact same way your guides and angels can use to communicate with you. So you can take it as a sign that you indeed have the ability to hear the messages of spirit, it just takes opening and developing this subtle psychic sense. How does a government steal a child and then imprison him? How does it keep it a secret? This story is how. It’s difficult to remember where exactly these symbols go within the name. Although it can be difficult to avoid if other usernames are taken, users find it difficult to remember these exact punctuations and your account can get lost in the masses.If you are a business, you can opt to add your activity to your name to differentiate from the rest. This is Lemn’s story: a story of neglect and determination, misfortune and hope, cruelty and triumph. Foundling Fellows: Past Foundling Fellows: 2014: Coram Fellow". foundlingmuseum.org.uk.

Children do bad things and good things all of the time—it's part of what it means to be a child, yet when a foster child does something which is "bad," like take biscuits without saying please and thank you or comes in late, they are punished in a way—well I was punished in a way—like I was a threat to the family, a threat to the foundations of the family, to Christianity, and to the belief structure of the entire family, and that is unfair.
