The Third Best Decision

The Story of Steve Morrison

 

Scripture Reading:  Psalm 116:12-16, Matthew 6:33

 

Greetings in the name of the Lord. I truly want to admire all of you who have left your motherland to come to Korea to work hard and sacrifice on behalf of your families.  I believe God will grant you much blessings during your stay in Korea.  I also pray that God will bless your families waiting in your motherland as well.

 

I was sent over to the US through adoption when I was fourteen. Through adoption, I have received tremendous blessings. It has enabled me to meet wonderful parents and grow up with abundant love, and it has also helped me to meet God.  Now I am over 50, and I have been blessed with a lovely wife and prvilleged and happy to be a father of four children. But my life was not always this happy.  As I look back to my past, I recall the time of tremendous pain and suffering I had to experience as a child. Before that I remember losing my parents and I roamed the streets with my younger brother and survived by meager foods we got by picking up the coins that people dropped on the streets.  My brother was taken by a woman who wanted to raise him as a son.  I had no idea that it would be the last time I would see my brother. 

 

When I was a six years old boy, I had a new life at the Holt Orphange. Althought it was fun to live with friends, I became very lonely whenever I thought of my brother or my family. Why don¡¯t I have a family of my own?  Why did I have to grow up as an orphan?

 

I lived in the orphanage for eight years, and when I was 14 years old I was adopted to the US.  The place I wound up was Salt Lake City, Utah.  The city was surrounded by beautiful mountains, and despite the fact that there were a lot Mormons, my family belonged to the Southern Baptist denomination.  The Morrison family had one son and two daughters by birth, and two years before I arrived, my parents adopted an Amerasian boy who used to live in the same orphanage with me.  I was the second adoptee and the fifth child in the family.  I have two older sisters and two younger brothers. 

 

I still remember very clearly the day I arrived in America.  The Morrison family gave me a warm welcome. The beautiful memories of living in the new family setting are cherished in my heart with deep fondness.  In particular, my father was a gentleman of gentlemen as he showed much affection to my mother in front of us kids.  My Dad would always hug and kiss my mother and tell her to have a great day as he left for work, and at evening when he returned he would always hug and kiss mother again and ask how her day went.  My mother respected Dad in love and always acknowledged him as the head of the family, and she planted in our hearts the importance of following the Chrstian faith.

 

The most important thing I realized was the love coming from my parents.  At the beginning, I was afraid that I might do something wrong that may cause them to send me back to Korea, but as the days progressed, I became more and more sure of their love for me.  Another thing that I realized was that never once did they discriminate the two adopted children from their biological children.  It came to the point where I almost forgot that I was adopted because I blended right into the family.  My father would often say, ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like you were adopted at all, and it seems like you have always been my son.¡±

 

As a boy who had no dream in the past, I began to dream of future in the Morrison family.

¡°When I grow up, I want to be a great father just like him.¡±

¡°Someday, I want to marry a woman who is as beautiful and loving like my mother.¡±

¡°Someday I want to be a loving husband just like my Dad is.¡±

¡°Our family is so wonderful.  I want to have a family just like this.¡±

¡°I had no idea that adoption was this wonderful. If I ever have a family of my own, I want to adopt as well.¡±

 

One of the most surprising things was that I began to take interest in the school work that I had no interest before. And even though I was studying in difficult English, I enjoyed the school.  My worst and disliked subject in Korea was math, and for some strange reason the mathematical principles that I could not understand in Korea started to make sense and I found that to be incredible.  I had a strong interest in space exploration, and I deliberately chose Purdue University because Purdue has generated so many astronauts such as Neil Armstrong.  I majored in the Aeronauical and Astronautical Engineering and when it came time for me to graduate, there were many space industry companies that came to our school to recruit the graduating class, and we were offered numerous job offers.  The world seems to have just opened up on me with arms wide open.   

 

Before starting on my new profession after the graduation, I spent a month with my Dad.  It was an opportunity to spend a lot of time with him and to engage in many conversations.  One day he called me to his side and said ¡°When we adopted you, we did it because you needed parents and a family.  We did it to help you.  But after all these years, I see that we have been blessed much more through you than what we gave you.¡±  Hearing this I was very moved and touched.  On another time, Dad said something that I will never forget.  ¡°Steve, I made some very good decisions in my life. The best decision was to believe in God. The second best decision was to marry your mother, and the third best decision was to have you in our family.¡±  I was speechless when I heard those words.  I was deeply touched by what he said.  Of course Dad loved all five of his children equally, but through those words he was showing me just how much he loved me.  I will never forget those kind words as long as I live.

In closing, I ask myself this question.  ¡°What blessings have I gained through adoption?¡± I think the biggest blessing was to experience God¡¯s love, and to grow under my parents¡¯ love. It is this love that forms the basis on everything I do, whether it is for my work, church, my family or social life.  This love was the force in creating MPAK.   I had a dream that there would be positive changes in the Korean adoption culture so that all the homeless children might grow up in loving homes.  However, I have seen that dream come true through MPAK.

 

I have a dream for all of you.  I do not think that all of you working in Korea are by coincidence.  I believe each and everyone of you are here because God loves you.  I pray that you will all meet God.  God has wonderful plans for you. I pray that you will believe in God and seek His will, and pray that your testimony would be the same as the one my father professed.  That the best decision was to believe in God, the second best decision was to marry your spouse, and that the third best decision was to experience the joy in having your own children. Thank you and God bless you all.
