i don't know why i'm so miserable....but I wanted to know the story...how does the kid afford a studio, HD cam, etc,etc....who pays for him to play.

ends up he's some rich family's pet project

This is the story of Cornel and God’s hand upon his life. He was taken from birth without his parents consent and put in an orphanage at Suceava, northern Romania. Eventually his parents traced him but, as they were so poor, it was impossible for them to even consider taking him home as both worked long hours to support other siblings. And so Cornel remained for 9 long months until Doreen Munn first saw him in September 1992 whilst delivering aid to Romania.

left for dead at some orphanage, some liberal Brit saw him and called her friend and took pics of the kid......they decided to bring him up and give him life and make him some type of "hope" marketing piece.....


















Good for the guy, but this IMHO isn't inspirational or hope filled......it's heartbreaking that the kid is used as an accessory...even though he may be better off....
