Luís e Jarl, casados e com uma filha, contam a sua história de vida.

O Luís Amorim e o Jarl estiveram à conversa comigo para falar da vida: dos dias de juventude, do encontro aqui em Bruxelas, do casamento e do processo de adoção da Georgina.
Aqui fica um pouco do que nos vão dizer na 6ª e na 2ª feira, entre as 22 e as 23, como sempre na Rádio Alma, em 101.9 FM

Jarl

"I was born in Lund, Sweden, on 27 November 1962. (...)"

"My father is 87 and my mother passed away in 2015 aged 87. They were married for 60 years. I find their relationship inspirational: how they took care of each other, how they trusted each other and how they had fun times together. These are things that they have passed on to me and I try to have the same in my relationship with my husband and my daughter."
(...)
"Becoming Georgina’s father was a very important moment in my life. I love my daughter very much and I think that becoming a father has made me a more complete person. Georgina has brought a lot of wonderful things into our lives and made them richer emotionally."

Luis

"I was born in Luanda, Angola, on 22 September 1970. I am the only child of a Portuguese father and an Angolan mother (whose father was also Portuguese, but whose mother was a Black woman from the South of Angola). (...)

"My father (...) was gentle and cuddly." (...)" My mother is a fun and emotional person. She loves to sing and dance and she taught me how to express my emotions and to be myself no matter what. She is full of energy and knows how to enjoy life. "(...)

"Coming to Belgium in 1996 also gave me the opportunity to meet my husband Jarl (we met in 1997).

Becoming a father through adoption in 2005 has been the most extraordinary event in my life so far. I could not imagine my life without Georgina. Georgina has taught me many things in life, in particular how rewarding it is to support another person in their “walk through life” that is, in becoming themselves. It is a real privilege to be her father.

From my father I take his constant presence, his warmth and his hard-working ethos. From my mother I take her cheerfulness and her love of life. I try to pass these things on to my daughter."
