In My Own Words: Being adopted from China and growing up in the United States
In My Own Words In this installment of In My Own Words, Lyana Hall shares her experience about being adopted from Southern China and growing up in the United States.
I was born in what at the time was called the Guangdong province located in Southern China. When I was 15 months old, I was adopted on November 22. When that happened I gained new and amazing parents. The plane ride wasn’t the greatest thing only because at the time I had an ear infection.
Months after I was adopted my entire extended family went to Disney World. My mom would push me around in my stroller so I would be able to look around. The Disney trip was breathe taking. Every day we did and saw something new. There were amazing pleasures to explore. We watched fireworks and went to the zoo.
I had a great time with my older cousin Stacey. I look up to her as my older sister. She has always been there for me. Then there is my other cousin, Megan. She is a lot older than me and has always been supportive and loving.
