This is the true story of an unlikely domestic adoption in 1990s Korea.Two-year-old Heejong wasn't expected to have a great life. She usually stood silently staring into space, unable or unwilling to smile at well-meaning strangers who visited her children's home. Meanwhile, Anna wasn't expecting to get a miracle. In a rocky international marriage, with three young children to care for, she still struggled in a country and culture that was not her own.Then a simple photograph changed everything. For once, Heejong smiled. For once, Anna dared to hope. But could the obstacles be overcome? Without documentation or treatment for her challenges, Heejong was facing life in an institution. Was Anna powerless to prevent that? Or was her unique, international life actually an asset?This is the true story of an adoption against the odds -- a secret longing held close to the heart. It's a story of tenacity, hope, and devotion rooted in the love of two human souls for each other.
