Becoming Sisters

I started writing this several months ago, but I had a difficult time finding the video of the panel... now that it's up, I'd like to share this post, originally started in April 2011:

I was asked to join a panel at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to share my adoption story for Holt's International Forum.

I didn't know what I was going to say.  I have told my story many times before, so I thought it would be easy.  But, of course, that's what I get for thinking.  Everyone met in a holding room before the panel, and their stories got me verklempt.  

I'm glad I jotted down some notes before I spoke.  Anyway, here's the video!

From Hyun Jeong:  When I listened to your speech there, I felt sorry. I want to tell you everything you want to know if I can. I think I should be more diligent though. 

I wish she didn't feel that way!  I'm so grateful for her.  I would love to live near her one day. 

To get a real quick glimpse of our story, watch this!

This is a press conference from the National Press Club-- it kicked off the International Forum in Washington D.C. Thursday afternoon.  Read more here.
