Many of them have gone through the root tracing process. We hope to collect their stories and share with others about their precious experiences in root tracing and its meaning to their life.<\/p>\n<p>The book will be published in both Chinese and English. Adoptees are invited to share their experiences during different stages of their root tracing. Due to limited pages of the book, every story is up to the limit of 1000 words.<\/p>\n<p>The topic can be chosen as below:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When did you start to trace your origin in Hong Kong? \u00a0What were the factors caused you to start the tracing?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How did you start the tracing process?
