Lately a lot of people have been using social media to track down their biological parents. In many cases, this method has been quite effective. As That’s Not Chinese, Unfazed and I watched a recent reunification news story I had what I believe to be a brilliant idea.
“So, I always wanted to be a foreign exchange student, but my parents (biological) didn’t feel I deserved a ‘reward’ such as that. I offered up the possibility of foster care, but they weren’t keen on that either. Now that I’m an adult, I think I’ll make a sign like that and see if social media can help me find my ‘adoptive’ parents,” I told That’s Not Chinese and Unfazed. They both agreed that would be a great idea, however, That’s Not Chinese didn’t want me to wait until I had a piece of poster board and encouraged me to take a quick photo and upload it to facebook with my message. Alas, on Chinese New Year’s Eve, after a lovely reunion dinner with chicken enchiladas as the entree, I posted this plea:
I’m really looking forward to meeting my adoptive parents….and a relaxing vacation at a French chateau.
