BIG NEWS!!!
Hello Tami,
I’m so glad you had a good trip. Ms. Toni-ma told me that your foster mother was upset that you had to leave early. She remembered you as a baby and wished to meet you again someday.
Your birth mom called Toni-ma after receiving their telegram. She admitted being you birth mother immediately; some mothers are in denial at all times. She stated that she would be interested in corresponding with you but needed some time. "Not much, just a little bit of time" to prepare herself and children. She has already told her daughter about the you, but not to her son yet.
Your birth mother got divorced and lives with two children – one daughter (24 yrs old) and one son (20 yrs old). Recently she received an operation (do not know which part of her body) and is recovering from it now.
Holt will surely send the her letter and photos when they hear back from your birth mother again.
Good news!
Best wishes,
XXXXX
I am obviously thrilled to find out this information and cannot wait to find out more! It is hard to explain, but when you have an chunk of time in your past that you have no knowledge of - it is something that you feel is missing. Some people deal with this differently, I chose to not really deal with it, and focus on the good things in my life that I did have. But finding out just this little piece of information has filled my heart and it is all I can do to keep my energy at bay. I have a half brother and sister! My birth mother is open to connecting with me! I can find out medical history, who my father is, what exactly my heritage is... so many things.
Stay tuned!!!

Jin comes to Seoul
So, my friend Jin met me in Seoul for the weekend where we were able to do a little sightseeing, eat and drink waaayy too much Soju. For those of you who don't know what Soju is, well, it's basically the devil hidden in Korean rice alcohol. We went out for dinner at a Korean BBQ joint with a few of Jin's friends. We ate pork BBQ and drank beer and Soju. The Korean guys spoke english very well, and we had a great conversation about the our different cultures. I was curious to know what sort of American music they liked, and they were super into Ne-Yo (which I thought was really strange) and liked Justin Timberlake (I mean who doesn't???), Lady GaGa, Jay-Z, and Beyonce. It was interesting because one of the guys there is a K-Pop music writer. You know, Korean pop? Pretty cool I thought, and I'll have to find out which song it is from Jin because I was sort of impressed that we were at dinner with a semi-famous Korean!
