I've Had Paranoid Panic Attacks.

My Sister Is Korean And My Parents Adopted Her About Three Years Before I Was Born And That Is How I Grew Up.

My Mother Is A Realist, And She's Had Biological And Adoptive Children, And She Said It's No Different: No Matter What, They're Putting A Stranger Into Your Arms. You Don't Know Them Yet.

Even If You Plan A Marriage And A Family, You Are Never Quite Prepared For The Reality Versus How You Imagined It. In A Lot Of Ways It's Better, And In A Lot Of Ways It's Worse. That's Life, Right?

I'm Not Very Good At Being A Wife Because I Break All The Rules.

I Always Assume I Look Better Than I Actually Do. I'll Feel Pretty Good About Myself When I Leave The House, Then I'll See A Picture And Think, 'crap, I Had No Idea That's What I Was Looking Like.'
