I also went to Germany and my birth mum took me to a supermarket. I stole ice-pops that were not frozen. They tasted like a lovely drink. I was five years old.
When I was eight I was fostered by Helen. We went on a lot of trips and holidays. I was 16 when she adopted me. When I travel now it is fun and I like to stay in lovely hotels. Last year, I went to New York, which was brilliant.
