All You Can Ever Know A Memoir by Nicole Chung 921 Chung

  I really like non-fiction books.  I always learn something or get a perspective on people or things that I had never thought about.  I know several people who have adopted children but I have never heard first-hand  stories from adoptees.
      This book is about a baby girl born in the United States to a Korean couple who already had two daughters.  She was born very prematurely  and the Doctors weren't certain she would live. The parents signed papers to give her up for adoption.  The baby spent two months in the hospital and then was adopted by a young couple who were eager to become parents.
      Nicole writes beautifully about her life.  She was a Korean surrounded by children who looked nothing like her.  Her parents were great.  Her life was great.  But there was always this part of her who wonders about her birth parents.  Did they love her? Why did they give her up?
       So she began the quest to find out about her birth parents and the circumstances of her birth.  She finds out - the good, the bad and the ugly.
