I'm sure a "good" writer would make you figure out what the title means in the middle or near the end of the story, and some of you may already know, but I'm not like that; as a teacher I don't believe in hiding the ball and as a person, I just don't have that kind of foresight.
I started my journey on my "Motherland Tour" about 10 years ago. I and about 60 other Korean adoptees from all over the world were flown in from our respective countries and took a tour of Korea, our Motherland. Even though they call it the motherland, I know I am an American and wouldn't claim Korea as my motherland, it really is only the land where my Birthmother, in contrast to the mother who raised and loved me, is. And there you have it: the birthMotherland.

Hello, welcome to the birth motherland, I like how you explain that. Have we met at GOA'L meetings? I have been here since 1995 and just started to figure out how to blog last April. Are you on FaceBook? Great to see you here.

Hi Korean War Baby,
ReplyDeleteThanks for following my blog.
I arrived in late August 2009.
I haven't attended any conferences for adoptees, so I doubt I met you there, and I am not on Facebook. It seems like I am pretty anti-socila huh?
But now we have met on my blog, nice to meet you.
