Third Mom
"Let me tell you about all of my mothers!" said my five-year-old son one day as we sat in our kitchen. He began counting: "There’s my first mother in Korea, then Mrs. Cho (his Korean foster mother), and then there’s you – you’re my third mother." He went on to add his grandmother and godmother, making it clear that to get on his list you had to have the word "mother" in your title. So simple to his five-year-old mind - but of course adoption is anything BUT simple. By sharing my thoughts I hope to better understand the experience that has shaped my life.
