Rae Reilly’s Adoption Story – Part 2
Posted on Jul 02, 2010 by ethan in Human Interest
Rae Reilly is back! Rae finishes (Watch Part 1 here) her incredible story of traveling back to Korea at age 11 to find her birth mother. Today she re-tells her feelings of her very first encounter with her birth mother in a van in a secluded alley in Seoul. Then she teaches Ethan how to play the piano (even after 7 years of piano lessons when he was a child, he still can’t play Heart & Soul. The easiest song in the book) AND Rae sings a new song from her forthcoming album.
Also, if you haven’t already, check out Rick Reilly’s (Rae’s dad and ESPN sports commentator) article in Time magazine about his experience in helping Rae find her birth mother.
*And thanks to Dr. Tony for the use of his keyboard!

Wow. Ethan was serious for a whole 16 minutes! A record. Rae is a beautiful singer!
