Darin was born in Myanmar but his mother passed away while he was very young. Since that time, he lived with his grandmother who had a stroke and is now bedridden. His grandmother took care of him prior to his arrival at the orphanage. Darin has no contact with and does not know the whereabouts of his father.

Darin loves playing with friends at the orphanage and especially loves the friends that make her laugh. Darin appreciates those who support her and states that it makes her very happy!
