Born in China, raised in Belgium
Born in China, raised in BelgiumWe are Noëmi and Anéline Plateau. We were born in China, each in a different province. Noëmi was born in 1996 in Hefei – Anhui and Anéline in 1999 in Changde – Hunan. We don’t have much information about the first years of our lifes.
We were both adopted by our Belgian parents and here in Belgium, we became sisters. We’ve had a nice childhood. Our parents were always very honest and open about our adoption. They always told us that our birth parents wanted to give us the best chances in life. We are very thankful for the lives we’ve got. We have very good friends, a big warm family and also in our professional lives, we’re very lucky to do what we love to do. Anéline is studying to become a filmmaker and Noëmi just finished her studies in a school of arts as an illustrator. We are very different, but because of that, we complement each other very well.
Help Anéline & Noëmi find their biological parents
But despite all the good things in our lives, there is still a piece missing. Since we were little we had a lot of questions about where we come from, about who our birth parents are. Are they still alive? Do they think about us? … Being both Chinese and Belgian brought also a lot of questions. It is strange to be connected with a country and a culture, we didn’t grow up in. But we’re very curious about China and its people.
We have thought for a long time about searching. We talked a lot about it with our adoptive parents, family, and friends. Everyone is very supportive, which is heartwarming. Our adoptive parents are also very curious about our biological families. And they’re very thankful to have us in their lives. They were always very interested in China and its culture.
A lot of people say that the search won’t be easy. In a way, we always knew that it wouldn’t. Maybe that was a reason to wait so long… But now that we really have started our search, we feel even more how important this is. It is also a search for ourselves.
