New issue of Narrations is printed

Narrations is the newsletter by and for children who are touched by adoption. Here are excerpts from our latest issue: Family and Adoption By Kahleah There are two ways of building a family, by giving birth to a child or by adopting a child. Some people do both! Some people can not give birth so adoption helps them to have a child, a child of their very own. Adoption also gives a child a forever family. It is not just children who are adopted. My parents are adopted too. My brother and I adopted them! My travel story By Katie When my parents asked me if I wanted to go back to the orphanage where I was adopted from, I didn't know if I really wanted to go back. I didn't know what to expect. When we got to Changsha after our long tour of China, me and my friend Lizzie and her family went to look at the orphanageŅ My experience at the KAAN Conference By P.J. Last summer, a month or so before school started, my Korean drumming class and I performed at the annual KAAN conference. The KAAN conference is an annual event held by the Korean American Adoptee Adoptive Family Network. This issue also features a poem by Senna, a beautiful Year of the Monkey poster by Nora and a family portrait by Maria.
