"Can I go see my birthmama?"

What? Did I hear her right???

"Can I go see my birthmama?" she said from the back seat of the car as I buckled her in.

OMG. How do I answer this when it's my 3yo asking the question? I expected that question to come a little later in life.

So, clumsily, I said, "When you are older Mama will do whatever she can to help you try and find your birthmama but remember she is far away in Korea right now."

(small delay while dd thinks this one over...)

She smiles and says, "Okay!"

Phew (as sweat is wiped from my brow).

Knock knock! Anyone home?

Just testing out this blog. I have stuff to say but never seem to say it...maybe I'll blog it instead. I've been reading my friends' blogs (when they actually update them...you know who you are!) and some interesting blogs by adult KADs (Korean Adoptees) and I've learned a lot. Somehow it seems easier to write than to speak, you know? When we write we can pretend no one will ever read it and then it is easier to write freely (and, in my case, probably no one WILL ever read it!! LOL!).

Anyway, here lies the first post...just to see what happens. Until later...
