my arrival from korea

[m8m9k]

Hi Stephanie :)

What a beautiful video; I was shocked to find myself crying after watching this!

My boyfriend was adopted from South Korea in 1989 (he was four months). I might put his Gotcha Day video to music as well. :)

[Bdiggity3sims]

This is amazing.

I love seeing videos like this from the person that experienced it.

You brought me to tears, tears of happiness for you! I love the looks on your parents faces, they look stunned and amazed, you can see in their eyes how much they love you! Looks like they had a whole family reunion at the airport! Wonderful! :)

ahhh you are too cute! i love the 80s clothing and how happy your parents are.

[slappymcgroundout]

Simply adorable there Steph. When you're down, watch this and recall that not everybody has this.And now you've a bachelor's degree from a reputable institution.And Steph, something else to never ever forget.You may not have known where and when you were, but what with all those faces, if only for a moment, you gave joy to others.The other thing I see here, think being entrusted with a life and the "duty" that comes with it.Put "sacred" in front of duty.The love that we owe.Something like that.

hehe, I was adopted from Korea when I was a bnaby.. and I have to tell you, a friend of my parents gave them a hand made cross-stitched wall hanging that has that exact same poem, "not flesh of my flesh, etc" ... it's been hanging on the wall by my bed for as long as I can remember. :) And now that I'm married and moved out.. it's still by my bed.

Thank you for sharing your Arrival video. Beautiful. I enjoy watching your video blogs.

The video brought tears to my eyes. Our duaghter just arrived at O'Hare three short weeks ago. We just made her a similar video! You can tell how loved you were by your family. Thank you for sharing your other videos as well. They are helpful to watch and get an adoptees perspective for our daughter.
