Parent/Child

‎I saw this posted by an adoptive mom today on Facebook.

"Natural child: any child who is not artificial.
Real parent: any parent who is not imaginary.
Your own child: any child who is not someone else’s child.
Adopted child: a natural child, with a real parent, who is all my own.”

Korean New Year

Each year our Korean Adoption Group celebrates the New Year. The Lunar New Year was last week and our group had another amazing gathering filled with music, K Pop, delicious food, a magician crafts, and so much more. The kids LOVED going this year. They love the college students being there. Ben and Cami volunteered to be part of the Karate demonstration. The blur in the picture is the guy breaking a board after jumping over the 5 kids. All of the kids loved it! One of the other favorites was the magician. He took an empty semi smashed Dr. Pepp*r can and filled it with the "air" around him. As he waved it around, it filled up and sealed. He opened the can, poured it in a cup and handed it to Ben to try. WOW was Ben feeling like a million bucks! We ended the evening with some delicious Korean food before heading out and dropping Ben off at the Kohl center with Stacy, Brian, and Hank to watch the UW Hockey game. We are looking forward to Korean Culture Day coming up!
