Welcome to the premier edition of the Welcome House Adoptive
Families Blog.
For more than 60 years, Welcome House has been building
families through child adoption. More than 7,000 children have been matched with
forever families. However, our success does not equate to a number. The heart
of the matter is that the work that we have done for over six decades has
impacted the hearts of many- both within families and within the communities in
which our adoptive families reside. Our history as a Bucks County-based
child adoption program is rich with wonderful stories of multicultural
appreciation and love exhibited through adoption.
Last month during National Adoption Month we asked our
Facebook fans and Welcome House families to share their adoption stories with
us. The winning entry is from a Korean adoptee who wrote about the wonderful
opportunity adoption afforded her and her parents.
Here is an excerpt from her entry:
My Korean mother put me up for adoption because she was a
young, poor, unwed mother of a mixed child. I had a few problems in Korea
because I was half-American. My Korean mother put me up for adoption so that I
may have an opportunity for a brighter future. My American family provided me
with that opportunity. I would not be where I am today without my mother’s
unselfish act and my American family’s unselfish hearts.
My parents have opened my eyes and my mind to a whole new
world. My parents have introduced me to theater, orchestra, travel and art. Had
I lived in Korea, I would not have had these opportunities. They have taught me
the value of family. They taught me not to “judge a book by its cover” and how
to keep an open mind. I am a pretty well rounded individual due to their
teachings.
My parents are my guardian angels. They have given me a
real chance at life. My Korean mother’s unselfish act and my American family’s
unselfish hearts have given me a life I couldn’t have ever imagined. I may not
have been born under my American family’s hearts, but I was born in it.
