description: Claire and her mother are working together on a scrapbook as they relive their first days and hours together following Claire's arrival from her birth home in China. Claire's big brother Conor had kept a journal as he anticipated the day his new sister would arrive and these entries also become part of their book of memories. They remember how at first Claire was scared of her new parents and brother who all spoke a different language than she was used to hearing. But these foreigners loved the adopted Claire and little by little they shared experience that brought them together and made them into a family.
