O.k. so I've been lagging in writing...I'm just now use to blogs, yet.....Well I have to say this, with the new trend in "adopting" I'm hopeful that more and more adoptee's will read this. Its a wonderful gift believe me to be adopted. I was in an orphange, two weeks old, and then adopted by an american family, along with 100 other girls. I am thankful that I was adopted and brought to the United States, I am, but I do wish that my parents had been a little more conscience, that I was Asian, and given me more exposure to that as a kid. I'm not saying only having asian friends, and asian schools and asian tv shows, but something. To make me feel like I belonged to something. Because even now, I have identity issues, and it sucks.

Its not that I'm not proud of being Asian, but I have nothing to identify it with. I was never around other Asians, I always felt different and ugly. I hate admitting that, but I did. I wanted to have blonde hair, and blue eyes, and everytime I realized that wouldn't happen, it would really get me sad.

See I have a childhood friend that adopted a little Korean boy and he is adorable!! She's been amazing with his identification process, keeping it real, I guess that he is Asian and that he should be proud of it. Granted he's only like 3, but still better late than never...

I've been writing, I should say attempting, to write a book for years now. So I decided that maybe a blog would inspire me to finish it. I'm hoping I will meet other girls or guys, that are adopted like me, raised by white families and have their stories to share with me.

You see, I'm still dealing with issues, being raised in an all white family, Catholic, in a all Jewish town. Yeah, you could say I have alot to share. I loved the town I grew up in, but being one out of 5 Asians in my High School all of which had Asian parents, was very hard. The last thing you want to be in High School is different.

So this is my goal, to share with whoever wants to listen, my story and hope it will help me finish my book. So here we go.........
