Kurt Angle talks about the adoption

WWE star Kurt Angle shared a lovely story about adopting a Bulgarian child who was a special kid. Kurt revealed that his wife did some research and decided to go in for the adoption of an older-aged child.

He said:

“My wife decided she wanted to adopt a child, but she did some research and found out that kids over 10 don’t get adopted, period. So, she decided not to get a young one, but an older one to try to give him a chance.”

More about the adoption process and Joseph

Kurt disclosed that the process of adopting the child took around eighteen months to complete. It was in November that the couple got the special child name Joseph home to the USA.

Kurt provided more details about Joseph. The child did not know any English before. So Kurt and his wife registered him for learning English in Bulgaria itself to gear up for a life in the USA.

He said:

“We had him take 6 months of English classes. It worked a little bit, but he still needs a bit more work,”

Kurt cannot speak Bulgarian native language but his wife does, speak a bit of it. So she can communicate with Joseph whereas Kurt cannot yet do it.

Has Joseph adjusted to the American way of life?

Kurt said that the move from Europe to the USA is a big one for the teen and he would take time to adjust to the life there. Luckily, until now Joseph loves the USA. The wrestler said:

“We’re taking our time with him and making sure we cross our T’s and dot our I’s. He’s a special kid.”
