Elizabeth Mutafi: For me this child is a gift, he is fond and loving

‘ While we could adopt a baby when I saw him, I fell in love with him. In Real L!fe and Niki Kotsu, Elizabeth Mutafi interviewed, who spoke about the new member of her family with Manos Niflis, who is the boy they adopted from Africa. How did it feel to see Dimitris? While we could adopt a baby when I saw him, I fell in love with him. He’s cute, loving. He’s a child of self-defense. They learn to be autonomous children there, there is no choice, and that is very important. He’s got strength, a fist, he’s awesome, he’s smart, he’s got perception, he goes to school normally, we’ve received huge love from all over the world and thank them. They tell me “good job”. I say, “Children, don’t you ever say a word to me again.” The boy was a gift to us. I understand why they say it, but for me there is no ‘good’. It’s the least we can do in this life. For me, this kid, like Mano, is a gift, and he has his two sisters who have an excellent relationship. In all this I have to say a huge “thank you” to Eugenia Dimitropoulou, who helped me so much! And her husband, Stelios Blatakis, helped us both on the phones and in the process. Because he was one of the first to pass it on to Sierra Leone. They have Eva, a doll, who is friends with Dimitris. If you see them, it’s very touching. She’s a year older. I want to tell them a “thank you” because their help was very important. And I want to tell people it’s happening!
