so gananam is you are thank you finally it's her birthday it's sunshine birthday know birthday it's your birthday it's my birth it's your birthday happy birthday happy birthday to [Applause] you [Music] what happened to clodine baretto all these years I isolated myself yeah actually um this was the time now uh I was newly separated and um I felt that U my my kids needed someone to be therez I I was broken and they were broken too so I wanted to make sure that you know um they would they would feel secure and safe now anytime they need me I'm just [Music] there you already adopted Sab yes yes but Sab I always I always say it's meant to be we're meant to be God has a blueprint life and blue right away the moment I yeah it's funny look that's why I don't say blood that's why I don't believe that blood is thicker than water when I held her in my arms I felt this I can't explain it parang this is mine this is mine this is for me I'm going to keep you safe I and I swore the moment I held her I swear that you know I would do everything in my power to make her happy to give her a good life that fast yes wow how did you lead to adopting Kia and Noah after you've had Santino already they really wanted the sibling that was one of their prayers talaga when they wanted a sibling I told them oh let's pray if in 2 weeks um we don't we don't get a call or whatever that means it's not for us cuz we we'd visit orphanages cuz I used to do social work for DWD um you adopted proud and of course you don't get a call you don't usually get calls that you know there's someone here that you can adopt but this after two weeks we got a call and they what year was this 200 I was maybe 15 yeah 15 15 2015 and then so we I was like okay T this is really for us cuz this is no joke we get a call and then you know so that's how it how how it happened and with K did you just say yes I'll adopt her on the phone yes without seeing her no yeah gra Clin I mean that's another kind of love H so after K you adopted Noah yes no tala was what planned the kids wanted as another sibling a boy and um I was like Julia Claudia Dan girls when it was Leon's time um I left marg's house now cuz we used to live together so I didn't know anything even with Santino I didn't know how to really dress him up guys and you know true enough you know Noah was I know we waited 3 months uh and then the mom gave birth and then gave him up gave him to to to me I mean adop no but um and and Noah's like my angel he's he's like with me 24/7 he's Ling he's I we sleep together holding hands talal mama boy tala what is it in adopting children that that your heart seems prepared for I think I have so much love to give yeah and Par even if I give it to Sabina and Santino there was it was over my cup was overflowing pin you you love and I wanted to to to share it how can you say no to to to um to an angel and then people would say because believe when you adopt you adapt they adopt and it's how you bring them up the foundation children with um autism are are called special yeah special because they are special why why is it now when you're when you adopt um it's like I some people do that it's true but it's painful it's not nice to hear so I was trying to says WD for the longest time is to to change you adopted to chosen Ganda because you chose them that's why they shouldn't feel bad you know adopt no they should they are chosen you pick them you don't get to pick your own child yeah if it's a boy or girl you know but this one you get to decide and also I believe there's no difference really no difference love Santino K Saina Noah and K it they're all the same if you can love your husband who's not your blood not your own blood how can you not also love these children unconditionally oh my gosh hi say hi T Karen hello what's your name this is Noah how old are you Noah 4 years old and Kia how old are you I'm 8 years old years old see both of them when you chose them they were still infants oh yesal baby baby newborn talaga newborn talaga newborn oo ano talaga diit sa Ain M boy talaga it si Kia she's the one that we prayed for oh my gosh they make you happy no being with them would you sayur they also help you hardest time yeah yeah o cuz you know what if I if I if I didn't have kids I don't think I may purpose is that right your kids are your purpose no yeah Yun and they they are my biggest award oh what does mommy do at home why K who takes who takes scared of you guys who makes youo mommy who washes your bum bum when you poo poo Mommy Mommy tal yeah tala food oh who cooks your food who cooks your [Music] food at the height of your separation there were talks that you underwent a period of depression I think everybody would I know would would go through know that period I think that's a face yeah it it happens to to everybody um I yeah I I I really par was so uh protective over my children that I didn't like I didn't want to leave the house so anxiety my anxiety I was I had I I had um as diagnosed with anxiety disorder and um PTSD that's post trumatic IC stress disorder and you were also taking medication then people didn't understand yes yes uh when you go to a psychiat psychiatrist usually they they give you medicine for your endorphins for your you know cuz that's a chemical imbalance e so that's what people don't understand if you're diabetic then you have to take maintenance for that if you have anxiety you have to take or depression you have to take medicine for that and how long was that period in your life you know I don't I don't remember how long cuz it was like a roller coaster there there were like months that I would be okay there would be months that you know I would just have panic attacks and anxiety attacks or or but I always had to to show my children that um I was strong I'm a strong person I don't show them that I cry I don't I don't show them that but it must have been so difficult what did you do how did you cope prayers a lot of prayers but also it came to a point that um I think during the pandemic um I just locked myself in in my van cuz I'm always with my kids e you know I parked at our our our Park know and I was just screaming and screaming and screaming I know um uh uh inside the car I told the the driver to leave me alone get out of the car lot I was screaming I was asking God B it why why why are why am I going through this why why why me you know I'm a good person so why why are you doing this to me I mean how long for how long I was really really mad yeah and you were suffering yes I was so angry talaga I was so angry at God and then slowly you know you realize now you know you draw strength from [Music] him what was the hardest being a single mother um being a a dad and a mom at the same time cuz like I have two boys so I I really don't know how likeo puberty he's started shaving already I don't [Music] financially oh yes do you still believe or are you still hopeful Claudine
