Lotlot de Leon calls on public to stop discrimination against adopted kids

Lotlot de Leon took to social media to share that she’s never been ashamed she was adopted.

Versatile actress Lotlot de Leon captured the attention of netizens once more with her passionate message to those discriminating against adopted kids.

Lotlot is the adopted daughter of Superstar Nora Aunor and highly-accomplished actor Christopher de Leon. The former couple also have three adopted children (Matet de Leon, Kenneth de Leon, and Kiko de Leon) while Ian de Leon is their biological son.

In her Instagram and Facebook page, Lotlot poured her emotions to tell the public that she’s very proud being an adopted child.

The celebrity mom stressed, “So let’s just put this out here already! Yes I am adopted and yes I am also human! I am not a commodity, I am my own person who has feelings too.”

She continued, “I am grateful for many things in my life. I am grateful for all the good and bad things that I have been through because those are what molded me to be who I am today! I accept what was and what is! I will keep on moving forward owning this life that was given to me.”

The ex-wife of Monching Gutierrez also reminded adopted individuals to never be ashamed of themselves saying, “For those who are like me, never be ashamed of where you came from and your story!”

“Continue to live your life because this is 100 percent yours! Love those who truly love you!” Lotlot added.

“Oh and please to those who keep on discriminating ADOPTED kids, let go of the bigotry. It’s so unbecoming of a supposed ‘human being’! #hindiakorobot.”

Several entertainment websites also reported that Ian De Leon responded to his sister’s post on Facebook. Ian reminded his Ate Lotlot, “Let me also add to your beautiful message te.. a different perception on how we all take peoples’ criticisms about us is seeing what contents reside in their hearts and minds.”

“Always remember, what they say or do is a reflection of their own personalities, and that shouldn’t dictate what our state of being should be like. Let us not allow external influences take control or change what and who we all are, because no one knows us and our stories but ourselves,” he said.

“It is only us that have control and power to what we truly should be. I love you so much te! I will stand by you in everything,” he added.
