My sister Julie became a part of our family on this day 26 years ago. She was adopted from Korea through Holt International. So Sam will have an Aunt with a lot in common. She was escorted to the Portland airport where my family came to pick her up. The moment is documented on this video that my dad took with one of those awesome 80s VHS camcorders! Quality's not too bad after all these years!
Now Julie is happily married and living in Redmond, OR. She teaches the 2nd grade where I understand her students are learning about Korea and watching this blog. Hi kids!
She is planning on accompanying us to Korea when we finally get the call to go to Korea. This will be an incredible opportunity for her as she has never been back to Korea since she was adopted.
We really liked your post on Miss Julie. We learned so much about her adoption. We learned she liked books at an early age. We hope Sam enjoys books too!
We wonder what Sam picked at Dol. Maybe it was a book and he will become a good reader or librarian. Or perhaps, he picked a pencil and he will be smart just like us when he grows up.
We wish him a Happy Veteran's Day! We hope we get to meet him when he gets here!
