Oleg Lougheed reflects on his childhood memories, acknowledging that he is different from most people because he cannot forget. The memories of poverty, loss, and a faint hope for a better life during his first 12 years are still vivid. This hope was his only survival method, leading him to where he is today, 5,500 miles away from the life he was destined to live.
At the age of 12, Oleg said goodbye to his birth mother, not realizing he would never see her again, and he never met his father. He learned about alcoholism, starvation, and sacrifice at an early age. Leaving home was the only way to find a better life, which meant saying goodbye to his mother, sister, relatives, and friends, and saying hello to a new family and new friends.
At 12 years old, Oleg was adopted from an orphanage in Chebarkul’, Russia, to a family in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Adoption changed his life, opening a door to a new world and forcing him to close the door to everything he had ever known. He is now here to share his story of how he overcame the odds.
