My Third Parents: Orphanage to an American Dream is a powerful and inspiring memoir that traces one man’s extraordinary journey to discover what truly matters in life. Fernando Kuehnel shares his remarkable story of resilience, beginning with a deprived childhood in a Manila orphanage, scavenging through trash for food and scrap metal on the streets, to being adopted by an American couple alongside his two brothers.

This deeply personal quest to understand love and the meaning of family takes readers through a gripping narrative filled with twists, turns, and profound emotions. Soaring optimism is met with moments of crushing disappointment and despair, as Fernando navigates false starts and wrong turns in his struggle to overcome lifelong grief and embrace love without fear. Together with his brothers, he embarks on an epic journey of hope and heartbreak, discovering strength and purpose along the way.
