Exploring China, Childhood Dream & Our Future Child's Home Land
From someone who was adopted at a young age, I've always known I wanted to adopt ever since I was a little girl. I know nothing about my past and with this experience, I could open the eyes of our future child's heritage.
So many of these entries I see on this site are wonderful, fantastic ideas. Some are to capture the world’s beauty, some are of war and yes, the possibilities are endless. For me….here is my dream:
I was adopted at the age of 3, by my wonderful parents. I came to them with not much in tow…a few simple things in a box, wearing flip flops as my shoes. Still to this day, I know nothing of my family history or my heritage. All I know is that when I was little, even by the age of 10, I KNEW in my heart that one day I wanted to adopt. Moreso, internationally and from China. Why China? I’ve always been fascinated by the culture, the people and everything about it. Yes, I know that children here in the USA need loving homes, but a child living ANYWHERE in the world, need loving homes and this is what I know in my heart and soul, that I dream to accomplish one day.
So, with that being said, my dream photography experience would be to experience China and all that it has to offer. Soak in the culture, the people, traditions and just capture every little thing I could to hopefully bring back to our future child and show her where she came from, her roots, teaching her the culture and she can live the experience through my eyes until one day, she can experience it through hers…..
With that being said, thank you for reading and considering my Dream Assignment. Good luck to everyone!

Terri, may all your dreams come true, especially the one about adopting a little girl from China. I know if you won this prize and got to take that great trip to China you would make the very best of the trip and would come home with amazing photographs and memories.
you have got yourself a pretty sweet dream. you should check out my photographic adventure dream of the interesting land of France and the great bicycle race that takes place there. and "pic it" if you like. good luck
What a heart warming Dream Assignment, God has touched you....Good luck, you have my vote.
Unite against the “network” that is scheming votes. Support ideas that are “lost” due to unworthy ideas using low tactics. “Insulin” is not the best idea. Something is wrong here and many fantastic ideas are getting lost due to the “network.” If you like my idea on “Vanishing Cultures,” vote for it.
Sounds like a beautiful project. Have a great time discovering China and creating memories for your future child. You have my vote!
I love this idea! check out mine and Pic it if youd like! Congo here I come...
Ah! China!... Give you a pick!
Mine is also in China, return the vote if you like it!
Love this idea! Wonderful dream & Best of luck! You have my "PIC" - please take a second to read about my cause - furthering peaceful coexistence in the Middle East! Thank you!
China is a great place to photograph. I'm voting for you -- feel free to return the favor and vote for my project on land seizures, political upheaval and the overall struggles of daily life in Zimbabwe.
You have my vote, If you get the chance, check out my dream "From Australia With Love" and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote for it!
Thanks.
