Nancy’s adoption
Nancy was adopted by her parents soon after her birth from South Korea. There’s a story why her parents choose to adopt a Korean child while they can also adopt a child of American nationality or some other nationalities. But they choose Nancy. Actually Katherine’s elder sister was also the adopted child of their parents. She was also adopted from Korea. So it was always in Katherine that she wanted to follow her parents. So Katherine and Josh decided to adopt Nancy from Korea and not from anywhere else. It’s never been easy to bring up a child and especially when she or he is not your own child. But it was more of Katherine’s wish or you can say that it’s more of a woman’s love to become a mother of a child who is not able to get their parents love. There’s also a reason that they chose to adopt first rather than making their own kids. She wants Nancy to know that she is not an option but a choice, actually their first choice. They will fill her heart with all the love and support that a child gets from their parents. It takes courage and a big heart to love and treat others’ children equally when you have your own. It shows what a wonderful person both Nancy’s parents are. Sorry if it’s become too emotional but I can’t help it. Their story is really heart touching.
