ALIPANG TO DAN: "Chilena is often my chauffeur; but now that you're well, I expect that you and she will always be unavailable to me at the SAME times. That's okay, I'll have my own license before long. I might ask Kim to drive me, if--" He suddenly changed what he would have said into: "--if that weren't acting too much as if she and I were already close."
ERIC TO OLLIE: "Chilena didn't even GET TO go anyplace with her birth parents. They paid one visit to our house--offered to pay her to babysit additional children they had adopted since (how's that for irony?)--and then ran away. But one of the older birth brothers, named Mike, saw Chilena separately just yesterday. At least he seemed sincere about wanting to make amends to Chilena for the lack of contact since she came to us at age three."
