After the Morning Calm: Reflections of Korean Adoptees


"Our stories are the same, interchangeable, yet unique, and they are the blood that flows between us, mother to daughter, adoptee to adoptee." — Kathleen Bergquist, PhD and contributing writer. Here's an excellent anthology of personal memoirs, younger readers especially will find comfort and understanding. After the Morning Calm: Reflections of Korean Adoptees, the latest collection of personal stories and poems by Korean adoptees, features the writings of 26 adoptees (27 counting the foreword). The authors range in age from 18, to State Senator (WA) Paull Shin at 66. Almost all the contributors were raised in America. The 26 contributors in this anthology tell compelling stories from their heart. Their essays, poems and letters are a moving collection of testimonies that reveal what it is like to live a life of a Korean adoptee in their adopted land. They tell about embracing their multiple identities, overcoming adversities, searching for birth parents, making their first return visit to Korea, and giving back to their communities, among others.
