Becoming Sisters

Jim and I (Michelle) are in Dallas this weekend to help serve on an adoption panel for the Destination Korea Camp!  

Today, we shared our perspective as a married couple.  Jim probably never thought he'd marry an Asian-looking girl, much less an adoptee.  So, he's really experienced more than the average guy marrying a girl with so many issues.  LOL

It was really cool because I got to hear Jim's take on things.  I mean, I knew most of them, but it was just kind of cool to hear.  We were speaking on a panel with other adoptees and their family members.  Our audience was made up of parents.  

This weekend has even been a greater experience for our marriage.  Jim and I  traveled to Korea in 2009 but having him being around other adoptees and their families is kind of nice.  I joked with Jim that "these are my people."  Adoptees and their families have a way of getting one another.

Plus, I've known many of these people for years - since I was in my teens!  if you're interested in a camp run by adoptive families, then definitely check this one out.  It's Destination Korea Camp run by several moms who've been in the "biz" for 20+ years.  They really do know their stuff.

And... if you're interested in going back to Korea, contact Korea Heritage Tours.  I've known the owner for oh, about, 27 years.  My husband I chose to use KHT when we went to Korea.  In fact, I've used them for about 11 years and 4 trips... even before they were a full-blown company.  

I'll post more about everyone later, but for now, it's time for our farewell reception!
