Opis

Janine Vance, a Generation-X voice and author of Twins Found in a Box: Adapting to Adoption, writes her story for anyone who has ever felt out of place. As an adopted person from Seoul, South Korea, she has first hand experience dealing with loss of roots and feelings of self-doubt. At a young age, Janine has had to adapt to adoption, challenging relationships, her father's injury, and her mother's death. Her main childhood quandary had to do with trying to figure out which parent to "honor and obey" according to her religious upbringing. Into young adulthood she learns the most devastating news which influences tens of thousands of overseas adoptees today. Janine has been long married and the mother of two adult daughters. She meditates, interprets dreams and writes automatically and hesitantly. She views life with a sarcastic sense of humor, yet at the same time she is passionate about her purpose. "It's okay to pursue truth by questioning our beliefs. In fact, asking questions is our responsibility."
