Dinner with Molly

As is readily apparent from Harry's long hair, this post is out of order. We received an invitation to have dinner with Molly Holt during her short visit to the States. Molly is the eldest daughter of Harry and Bertha Holt, the founders of Holt Adoption Agency. Apparently they were inspired by God but soon became heartless scientists, at least if this is to be believed. So so smug. As you can see below, some Christianist vandal chiseler got to their graves.


Amy remembers meeting Grandma (Bertha) Holt when she was little but we had both met Molly Holt before. On our trip to pick up our Harry we visited the orphanage at Ilsan, Korea, right on the border with the Commie North. (There will be a lot more kids to take care of when that place finally breaks down for good.) But for now, Molly works as a nurse for the many disabled children and adults that generally need too much care to be adopted. After a tour of the place, we went across the street and got some food with Molly and another volunteer named Phil who had been adopted by Americans. The facility was beautiful and full of dedicated workers.

Molly was in the States to be awarded the Pearl S. Buck Award. She was accompanied by the president of Holt International, one Mr. Min. A few families that had adopted or were waiting to adopt from Korea were invited to have dinner at one of the family homes. Harry was the youngest kid there and had an absolute blast. Mr. Min seemed especially taken with him, stuffing him full of cookies and whatnot.

Harry was in such a good mood he let Mr. Min hold for another round of pictures. He just clapped happily.















It was a great evening with some very good and caring people.
