Who was my Mom in China?



The question I knew would come one day and dreaded most was asked by my 5 year old daughter today. I was shocked and so not prepared.


"Mom, who was my Mom in China" ? Was she at the at the orphanage?


Ohhhh my heart instantly ached as I searched for the right answer, I was silent, so unprepared and trying to hold back tears. All I could say was "I'm not sure". She immediately went on to another topic, which for now was a good thing. I have always been very open that she was in an orphanage as an infant, and that we adopted her when she was one year old. It is always my intentions to answer all her questions regarding her adoption, I just never thought I'd be asked that question so soon.
