I lost my parents when I was 7. At 46, It's been too long since I thought of my mothers voice. Thank you for posting this.
fluffypenguinsofdoom
No one that young should know pain that deep...
Lilrox55
He's so happy when he talks about who he loves then so sad.
spaceasaurus
Poor baby. Losing your parents as an adult is hard. I can't imagine losing them when you're so young. <3
CorvusBelli
Mine died when I was a few months old. It's easier, in a lot of ways.
dahlitheweiner
Yeah, I guess? Still, sorry for your loss.
CorvusBelli
Thanks for the kind thought, chief, but there's no need; you don't really "lose" what you don't remember having.
dahlitheweiner
Yeah, still sorry, it is part of you lineage, anyone who's everyone wants to know that! I hope oneday your questions are answered.
meticulousinfamousridiculousnicholas
Why in God's name did I read this? I'm calling my parents and my grandma to hear their voices...
TwoBallsOnePenis
The point of it is to show what it's like growing up as an orphan. Maybe in addition you donate some of your time to someone without fam.
meticulousinfamousridiculousnicholas
I think we'll all take something different from this, I really don't think there is a right or wrong message to draw from it.
TwoBallsOnePenis
Well if I may temporarily assume the identity of frank: I'd be a bit weirded out if you let a strange Internet person tell you what to do.
meticulousinfamousridiculousnicholas
Very true my good sir and/or madame... very true.
sunnydelinquent
I can't even call either of my Grandmother's anymore. I miss them dearly...
meticulousinfamousridiculousnicholas
My deepest sympathies. I only have my one grandparent left and I call her often, even if I can only talk for a minute.

If I remember correctly, this is translated. So it might be a literal interpretation of a more colloquial phrase.
medibot
Yes, it was something of a documentary- they established who the children were, and followed up/filmed them every 7 years since.
lostnortherner
I'm kinda annoyed at the interviewer for bringing that up "oh you love your family? Tell us more about the DEAD ONES please little boy!"
DickDastardly404
that was sorta the point of the interview
lostnortherner
The point of the interview was to make the kid cry? What the fuck kind of evil show is this?!!
TwoBallsOnePenis
Shedding light on the struggles of growing up as an orphan.
lostnortherner
Well I'm glad they educated me, I thought it was all sunshine and rainbows in Russian Orphanages!
DickDastardly404
it was a show about kids in orphanages, I think?
getafterit
It's a documentary about orphans... Of course they would ask

Indeed. I feel bad when kids go to stuff like this.

For me, it's the second last pic. That wandering thinking look. All those memories.
AnApologeticCanadian
Yea, I find it particularly moving because holding back tears like that is something mostly adults do. It shows how his circumstances 1/2

It's ok, most superheros have no parents.
AkwardBearHug
Kids got balls holding back those tears
GilaMonsieur
I'm not sure he's holding back. At that age you can't always feel all of something at once.
Austenwack
Or you can, you just don't have the life experience to understand why its justified to feel that way and thus don't cry/hold back emotions.
LisaChwan
Tbh, I'd rather see a kid cry than watching one hold all the feelings back..
freedomofnow
Yah. It's extremely common. Especially in guys. We're told to "toughen up," 'cause men don't cry. Extremely dangerous to hold back emotions.

It takes emotional repression to not cry through anguish. It takes balls to show raw emotion to a world that doesn't care.

(2/2) a bit in the American adoption system. Documentary checks in on him every few years.
IamBunny
So you're telling me don't watch it because I'll cry and his life remains sad
boroq
Nah seems like a solid person, takes iron balls to keep your sanity thru a childhood like that. Give it a go if u have time.
BlackberryCobbler
Where is your brother? "He died. Like the rest of them" I hope he finds a good woman and has a child and a family of his own someday
isthisnecessary
BBC documentary called 28 Up. They follow a bunch of kids from age 7, checking in every 7 years.
TuityFrooty
What ends up happening to him, and what happened to his parents?
MobiusAzarath
No details on movie and nothing says he was a drug addict so :-/
GuyballEnthusiast
He gets adopted, moves to Florida(IIRC). He rebels in 20s but then returns to adopted fam and declines docparticipaption. Works in IT.
janedoestolemyidentity
The rest of the story of this little boy is sad. Someone adopted him and gave him up again.
ohmygoshes
I cannot fathom. Once I adopted my sons, they were *mine*- warts and all. The good, bad, ugly. I often forget that they are adopted.

Not to mention his brother also died later.. "like the rest of them" ~quote

FFS, who goes to an orphanage and asks a kid if they have a family?
BoxofBoxes
It’s from a doc. series called “Born in the USSR” which follows several children as they grow up and spans for 28 years (as of now).
99popcorn
Bruce Springsteen should make a song about it. It's a good title.
bonvivantofviolence
There is a Russian rock song called born in the ussr. Pinnacle of Russian propaganda. I'm sure it's on youtube

WHAT THE FUCK.
MissSpaceFace
Who THE FUCK unadopts a kid?!
LilFern
Sounds so shitty but I dont know what's worse-keeping a child you cannot bond with, traumatizing to both,or giving them a chance 2 try again
ohmygoshes
The things we go through to adopt tho. We know the risks. It's not something we go into blindly. I chose adoption. I didn't pick my sons'
LilFern
Eh, don't know. What if there's parents out there who would be perfect for the kid, just not you? You're right, adoption is a serious 1/2
ohmygoshes
That's a lousy excuse. Thats giving up on your child. You'd do that to your biological child bc they arent perfect? That's lazy parenting
LilFern
2/2 fucking process. So turning a child back in isn't a spur of the moment thing. You don't get money back or anything. I imagine it hurts.
ohmygoshes
Personalities, no more than a biological parent can. It is absolutely foul- relinquishing an adopted child. There is no place for sympathy
ohmygoshes
For anyone but the child.

This phenomena of 'disrupting' adoptions....fucking sickening. It turns my stomach. These poor kids.
onecattwocatbigcatsmallcat
Ppl have this general assumption and expectation for how kids should be. Noone is ready for how much damaged their adoptive kids could be
onecattwocatbigcatsmallcat
and when they realize it, they don't want to face it. So they give up the kids.
EnkhboldGan
This kid has adopted to American family. turns out to become drug addict

I'm pretty sure dude is trolling

Have you got a link to verify this? Nothing is said about it in the documentary and there isn't much online about him.
