Seoul, June 2000:
ÒWhatÕs happening in my head and shaking heart while IÕm climbing those stairs is hard to express in words. You are so close now. The door opens and in the midst of everything I worry that I donÕt really know how to greet the foster mother. ItÕs not the custom to shake hands in Korea. I just smile a little and mumble something in inexperienced Korean.Ó
To not be able to Òhave childrenÓ when you want can mean a life crisis and enormous sadness. This book explains that and the big happiness in getting a child through adoption.
