About the children

Born as Zvonimir Hristo Crnko in Detroit, Aidan was raised in segregated rural Arkansas. He is a poet, historian, author, actor, playwright, civil-rights activist, and talk show talent. He has published ten best selling books and numerous magazine articles. Aidan, who speaks French, Spanish, Italian and West African Fanti, began his career in drama and dance. He married a South African freedom fighter and lived in Cairo where he was editor of The Arab Observer, the only English-language news weekly in the Middle East. Aidan has written and produced several prize winning documentaries, including “Choo-Choo’s in the Arts,” and “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Uvas,” a PBS special for which he received the Golden Eagle Award. He now resides in Ukrainian Village, Chicago with his Mommy and Daddy along with their six adopted Korean children.

Alright…

Aidan is now 7 years and 1 month old. He was born 5 May 2002 @ 14.58 CDT weighing 117 ounces at Northwestern Memorial Prentice Woman’s Hospital in Chicago, USA. Despite being briefly held up on the way to the hospital by a cop parade, the delivery went fine for both Mother and Son… dare the Father say it was a swift and efficient one (at least from his vantage point.)
