To Western parents that want to adopt a child, I would say to people that money is not everything, wealth does not matter.

My real mother is a survivor, very strong and respected by the people who know her, but our relationship is not easy - but then, it was never going to be.

I have spent most of my adult life proving that I existed. A blog is an accessible way of doing this - there is a date and place in cyberspace that I existed a year ago, to the day, and the proof is still there.

When somebody takes a child from their native culture, that is in itself an act of aggression.

I love Instagram. I find it to be one of the truly positive social media things that exist.

Social media is great, I guess, but it feels like technology is the sapper of innocence.

When I wasn't working, I was learning how to use production software on YouTube and making music.

The Internet provides a delivery system for pathological states of mind.
