Salaam Sume,
How are you doing? I watched In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee online a few weeks ago. It was really amazing. I’ll have to check out your other links.
I am back in Texas, now.

Wa Salaam and welcome back, Fatima! Doing pretty good and hope you are, too. How long are you going to be in Texas?
If you get a chance, watch First Person Plural, too. It was amazing that she was able to unravel so much of the mystery and so sad that she had to in the first place. Watching her film, again makes me wonder about all the other hidden histories out there among adoptees.
Okay, I will watch it when I get a chance.
We are at my parents’ house till my DH gets a job, dunno where in the country that might be. He has applied in the Dallas area and that is kinda where I would like to end up the most…so who knows, maybe we will be nearer to each other and can finally meet up.
That would be great if you ended up in Dallas and we could finally meet up! Let me know how it goes. You’d only be a short drive away. I’d love to see you!
