Eun-Hae and Dong-Hae are well aware that they were adopted. Upon seeing 35-day-old Eun-Hae for the first time, what we felt was a feeling of awkwardness and Eun-Hae is a sensitive child, so she has had many strangeness rather than intense attraction toward questions about her birth mother ever since she was her. However, as we daily bathe and feed her, looking six to seven years old.

Sarang had long arms and legs and a gen- der-neutral face – she also had thick eyebrows like we hoped for because all of our family agreed that she looked just like her father when he was young.♥

How have been the performances and prospects of Sarang’s gymnastics?

After only three to four months of starting gymnastics, Sarang was selected as a gifted gymnast by Ewha Womans University. In her 6th grade, Sa- rang won a gold medal overall and a silver medal in vault at the 2018 National Junior Sports Festival. In addition, she competes in the yearly Korean National Team Selection. She also has to balance athletics and academics because a certain level of academic grades is required for her to participate in those competitions.♥

What kind of support does Sarang need in the future? ▲ Sarang training at the gym

Sarang only has underclothes used for competitions that we bought her when she first started gymnastics. Currently, she has to wear athletic outfits that are handed down by other athletes. Artistic gymnastics uniforms mostly imported tend to be expensive. Furthermore, as those clothes need washing everyday due to the daily training, she needs extra uniforms for practices and competitions. From buying the music for competitions, choreography, and to having her get massages after training to prevent cramps, there are so many more expenses than we expected that we find it difficult to keep up with. To make situations even worse, the recent COVID-19 pandemic and my health issues have caused my husband to close the shop he used to run, temporarily making a living from working for a quarantine-related job. Luckily, burdens have been somewhat lifted thanks to ESWS as Sarang was selected as one of the Schol- arship recipients of ESWS Scholarship Program. ▲ The medals she won in the National Sports Festival However, Sarang still needs more financial support to achieve her dreams.♥
