US mom looking to write a book
(China Daily)
Updated: 2009-11-19 10:57 After reading the story about her adopted Chinese son (Looking for answers) in the Oct 29 edition of China Daily, the mother Julia Norris from Maryland says she is relieved to note that overseas adoptees are attracting attention in their Motherland. She revealed that she is planning to write a book to share her experience.
Norris says she is happy to see the non-governmental volunteer group Baby Come Home come under the spotlight. It was this group's volunteers who located the birth family of Norris' son, Christian Norris, who was born in China as Jin Jiacheng and has been separated from his Chinese parents for 11 years. Earlier this year, Christian returned to China and reunited with his birth family. He then flew back to the United States. In his e-mail to China Daily, he says: "I had to take some time off (school), but I am now feeling much better and getting back on track." He will soon be playing lacrosse at his school and also plans to volunteer taking care of homeless animals in the winter. "In a strange way, I feel related to them," he explains. He says counseling is helping him to forgive his birth parents for losing him at the age of 7 and for failing to find him. He intends to develop a new relationship with them. Norris says she is interested in finding Chinese and American publishers for her book project. Mother and son are discussing writing their story from their individual perspectives and combining the two parts into one book. Deeply moved by Chinese parents' love for her children that she saw on her recent trip, she says she hopes her book will "provide hope and inspiration to many parents of missing children out there". |
