Two days ago and 14 years ago was when I, Emily Loraine Calhoun, or formerly known as Tang Xiao Lu was officially adopted as a United States Citizen to the best parents, I've ever come to known, since I didn't know my birth parents. I never realized how much I could learn about where I have come from, considering I never knew or learned anything about my birth parents. Most people are considered unpopular because they were adopted, they are made fun of or bullied, but I am proud to show people where I come from. My dad, showed me the 6 month follow up interview that had to send to the Chinese adoption agency in order for me to be adopted. It was really funny, because apparently I was scared of my dad and carried a stool around so I could reach everything, Curious George, anyone? My mom was the only one in the beginning whom i was close to, my sister was unaccepting to the fact of having another sibling in the house and since i couldn't say Anna, I seemed to call her "Ah". Isn't it wonderful to look back on your life and realize the funny moments that can never be replaced? May 23rd 2000, that's a date always worth remembering.
