Visiting ghana will make him better. He will see how really privileged he is and hopefully stop engaging in mechanisms that cry for attention.

My advice to men: You never know which child will become great. Even if children will not become great it is our duty to take very good care of our offspring until they mature. I don't blame Balotelli's parents here as I know the story but I feel sad to hear the story of another footballer, Menphis Depay at Manchester United who was "neglected by a Ghanaian father at the age of four".

@ Sigma, when ALL the facts are brought to light you will certainly emphatize with Balotelli parents and Depay's father!

We shd sympathize with Balotelli that is how these whites are,after they've helped you to be successful they make sure they milk you before allowing you to go to your root.It took Obama 6yrs to visit Kenya.

But it nearly cost the player his best of the game. If Balloteli had embraced his heritage earlier, he would have been one of the best strikers out there for the support he was going to gain. His thoughts and manners would nave been under controlled to come out great in the game. He has the ability, need to be sane, level mind. A person can change nationality, but changing heritage is social suicide. Note that.

This guy has gone through tough times psychologically. I am not surprised of his character. Imagine hearing two different stories from two different 'trusted' sources about the reason why you couldn't live with your biological parents. I am sure he yearns to know the real truth; because only one of the sources is saying the truth. How would he know which side is lying?

I really like the guy, and I think inwardly he's hurting. So Ghanaians should understand why he might have made certain decisions; example, opting to be an Italian instead of a Ghanaian. let's hope the truth is revealed someday.

I would not judge children in his situation too harshly. In many cases the Ghanaian community abroad is not strong enough to help in a situation like his.

Why are Balotelli's biological parents coming up with this concocted story now that Balotelli's Italian adopted father is dead? Why did it take them so long?

Am surprised that his parents are now singing his praises.These are the same parents who put the poor boy for adoption like a goat been sold at the makola market.Whether the boy was rude or not in his infancy,somebody took natured him to be one of the most prolific strikers in the world.His biological parents should bow their heads in shame,they need to apologize to guy .There is no excuse for any parent to give his child for adoption no matter what the circumstances are.

I believe every word said by the biological parents. In Ghana, parents with financial problems give some of their children to family members, friends and sometimes total strangers. They can come for their children any time their situation improves. The Bawuahs acted in good faith when they gave their son to this well to do family, unfortunately their plan backfired. There is no way the Bawuahs would have abandoned their son even if he did not have any talent. I have every reason to believe that the Balotellis did all they can to hold on to him because of the potential they saw in him from young age. I'm very happy for the biological parents, especially the mother who have gone through severe pain and suffering from the fear of losing his son. She has been desperate and acted like a wounded lion.I also have deep respect for his Italian parents who have invested in him and raised him to be who he is today.

Abeku,

understand that what we do in Ghana is not adoption, no it is not. That is the reason whyt at any tine the child could go back to the original parents.
In our case, the child actually WORK for the new paernts, while the provide him homw, food etc. Most IMPORTANT, there are no legal agreement between the partners involved.

In an adoption, the child becomes the child of another person ALTOGETHER. When the adopting parents die, the child inherits and takes all their property, if he is the only child, or share with his siblings if the adiopted child has any. If the parents lety any debt, the adopted child is equally liable.

Know that the Italian parents COULD not just allow Balotelli to stay with them. That is not allowed in Europe.
And that is why they had to adopt him - legally.

I wonder if those biological parents of Balotelli in Ghana know and understand the legal implication of ADOPTION.Balotelli is an Italian from Legal standpoint.

Were the biological parents bare illiterates or just too doof to understand that no person adopts a child on temporaliy basis. In other words, no person would adopt your child, give him home and love, devote all their time to the child, support him financialy and later give the child back to you.

The rich Roman Catholic church wont even do that, Maame Baawuah!

First of all if this guy was not a famous footballer, Ghanaian s would not care and just call him an idiot.Second, I now understand why he acts like he is crazy sometimes, he is hurt from his childhood.

It seems some of you guys are justifying the nonsense that his parents are giving to justify the adoption.How will you feel to know in adolescent age that the man and the woman you ve known as your father and mother are not your real parents?And that you were given away like a goat to be raised by strangers,with the excuse that they were not financially capable.That is absolutely bullshit,I prefer to be with a good father who has nothing than with a stranger with all the wealth in this world.

Don't mind your nationality as long as you are a black man. You are an African. Whether you come from Trinidad or America as long as you are a black man You are an African because you got the identity of a black man. All parents who abandoned their kids in time of need or trouble should learn a lesson. .. mind u Ghana is bigger than Balotelli
