My biological parents their names are; Manuel Balesteros (father) and Maria Castillo (mother), I do not know how old they are at the moment and if they are still alive. I also do not know if I have any brothers or sisters in Colombia. Of course there will still be family or relatives of mine in Colombia. I have probably spent the first 4.5 years of my life in an orphanage in Puerto Asis (Putumayo) and in the last few months I have been brought to an orphanage for children who are qualify for adoption abroad, this orphanage was in the capital of Colombia, Bogota. I was very malnourished in terms of health and had / have scars on all of the two hands I do not know how I got them. At the moment I do not speak Spanish anymore and that is why I write everything in English on this website. Through this personal website I would like to get in touch with my family or relatives from Colombia. I also do not know if my parents (family) still live in Puerto Asis (Putumayo) and where they may have moved to. I do not have photos of my parents or family which I regret. The information that I have about my adoption application can be read in my adoption file that has been translated into Spanish and into Dutch. You can also view my passport from Colombia that I received before I left Colombia for the Netherlands. My Dutch passport is also on my website so that you can get a good picture of me and that my details are correct. Now I live alone in Amsterdam East in a small apartment in a nice neighborhood. I hope that the information I share with you on my personal website will be clear to you. If that is not the case, you can of course contact me about this and I will try to answer your question to you.

With friendly greetings,
