Your story was touching and it gave me a better sense of understanding of how my parents felt when they adopted me. They did not go through the same process, I was actually flown from Korea to the States, but I never realized how happy and excited they had to have been. We do celebrate my arrival every year but your story made me step back and put it in more perspective. I am currently serving in Iraq- for the country that gave me opportunity, and the parents who love me. Thank you.
