Lotlot de Leon on reuniting with biological father

Published Mar 23, 2023 07:52 am
Lotlot de Leon recently posted a photo of her together with her biological father. In the caption, she shared how they were reunited. According to her, as far back as she can remember, she already knew she was adopted. The info came courtesy of her mom, Nora Aunor. "Didn’t knew what it meant before until my mom sat with me one day and explained. She said the difference between me and Ian was that my brother came from her stomach, I was a gift from above. (Mom pointing at mama Mary the statue.)," she said. Lotlot remembered crying for hours after that. "Not because I didn’t know who my real parents were but because I wanted to be like Ian too, na galing din sa stomach nya because I love my mom so much gusto ko totoong anak din nila ako ni dad," she related.     Lotlot never felt anger or hate towards her biological parents, just curious about who they are and their story. "And tbh I prayed to meet them one day. Gusto ko din sila makilala..," she admitted. Fast forward to many years later, Lotlot said that "out of luck" or "destiny" the stars aligned.
She was at the municipal hall of Olongapo and someone passing by said: “Lot nung baby ka, sa amin ka nakatira.” "Since sa Olongapo nga ako pinanganak. Sabe ko suntok sa buwan I’ll ask kung may alam sila sa totoong tatay ko. I was able to speak to someone who accommodated me and since alam ko na name ng father ko I gave the details of the information I had. Few days after that I was sent his full name, the name of his wife and daughter.. my ate!," she shared. "Searched online. Got an e-mail address. In my head that time, try lang naman..kung hindi nya ako sagutin..okay lang. Hindi ko na nilagay sa isip ko that he would," she continued. Lotlot shared what she wrote. "Hi Mr. Olson, my name is Lot de Leon, my biological moms name is Eva Rodriguez.. are you my father?” And then he replied and said: “Yes, I know who you are.” “I’ve always known about you I carried you in my arms when you were born.” "My jaw dropped & the rest is history," Lotlot expressed. "Each of us have a story. Marami din tayong plano sa buhay. Pero ang plano pa din ni Papa God ang mangingibabaw," she maintained. "So here I am standing side by side with my Papa and I’m grateful in many ways. Forgiveness, humility and prayers goes a long way. If not for the decisions they made.. the time they made it. I wouldn’t have the people I love most in my life too now," she ended. "Looking at the glass half full with gratitude.Always. (heart emoji)."
