Jojo Todynho speaks out after being criticized for trying to adopt a child: ‘Connection’

Singer Jojo Todynho countered some criticism he received for commenting that he wanted to adopt the Francis, an Angolan boy he met during his trip to Luanda. Some Internet users wondered why he didn’t adopt a Brazilian child.

“You see people who say: ‘Ah, but here in Brazil there are so many children who need to be adopted, why don’t you go to a home for needy children?’. Do you know what the connection is? And another thing, you know how ‘is the process? Adoption in Brazil? My adoptive sister did it seven years in a row, do you know what it is? Seven years in a row?’He said.

Many people also wondered if the little girl has a family in Angola, and she responded: “Guys, I don’t know, that’s why I asked to do a survey. I don’t know the situation he lives in, let’s do the survey. And we ask his family if they accept me to adopt him, let’s give him a better life, a structure. I don’t know what both their situation, since I went to school, it’s not an easy situation, I don’t know their conditions”.

What if they don’t accept the adoption?

She also revealed that she intends to maintain a relationship with Francisco even if his parents do not accept the adoption: “If the family says yes, he comes to Brazil. If the family says no, I will help him. I am his godmother, I become his godmother and I bless him from here. And every time I am in Angola, in a certain way I will be present in his life, because it was something I can’t explain”.
