“It’s heart-wrenching sometimes to realize that no matter how much I love Caius and want good things for him, there are so many things in life I have no

control over.”

 

— Nina Ahn, 24, with son Caius, 17 months

 

 

 

“I can say that I have succeeded in life because all of my children have grown up healthy and are all happily married with their own children. That is the best definition of success

for me.”

 

— Anna Suh Lee, 66,

with daughter

Christine Lee Chang, 48

 

 

 

 

“We have kind of a communication barrier, because she was raised in Korea and I was raised in America, but even with that, we can still express our love for each other. I have nothing but love for my mom. She’s been there for me through thick and thin and has raised me well.”

—       Jeffrey Lee, 18, with mother, Tae, 51

 

 

 

“It’s completely uncharted territory. I don’t even know how to begin to think about becoming a mom. It’s exciting, but I know it’s going to be like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.”

  

 — Alice Kim, 31, pregnant with son
