I would cross to the other side of the river. I'd have friends cross me and agree to pick me up in the evening, and I would go and explore. I'd take whatever path I could, and just walk around and see what was at the end of the path. I met lots of families that way.
I met one family that . . . there was just something special – just this mutual feeling of really liking each other. They asked me to spend the night there, and I eventually did. And before too long, I wound up having them adopt me (laughs), and now they are my family. To this day, they are like my brothers; my nephews and nieces. I do feel that they are my family.
