Shen Boyang said the idea for adoption came from his experience as a teen counselor in college. He noticed that many children went astray because they had no place to rely on since childhood. “If he had been raised at the age of 3, 4, or 5, it would have been very different. But when he mentioned it to his parents, they couldn’t accept it at first. His father replied to him: “How do you open a kindergarten.” Shen Boyang did not refuse, but insisted on starting with himself and a child first: “If everyone helps one more person, this society will definitely change a lot.”

He also admitted that he had the support of his father, mother and stepmother since childhood, “so it was easy for me to overcome the blood barrier.” The adoption coincided with the pandemic, and the transition from foster family to new home was difficult.
