As a U.S. adoptee, when I heard that more and more adoptions were being done with Korean children I got upset, thinking that my experience was unfair but how much harder would their experience be. G-d bless you for helping each other. If we can be a lot more sympathetic towards each other, it would be best. Always, helping and cooperating with others is best, but how often does that get pulled off!

Planning on visiting the motherland next year, I can't even imagine what's it's going to be like. Thanks for sharing!

I am so glad you found my blog and wrote to me, l too feel I am lucky to meet so many other adoptees! There is a very special understanding and connection we all share no matter what our stories are. -KyungMee

I hope you can achieve all your goals. as a mexican american domestic adoptee I'm trying my hardest to become a citizen of mexico. I want to teach english there and live where my ancestry is from.

nice to hear you about your seoul searching! i'd like to eventually go back (for the first time) later down the road. i recently got the book "until they hear my name" by ellen lee and many korean adoptees, i thought it was a good read, so i'd recommend it for you. thanks for sharing!

[raderantmar]

dang! wish you were my gurl!

[soarwithhawk]

[stephxhoney]

[hlkline]

Dear Steph, how are you? I was just searching for vblogs on Korean Adoptees. I searched for a long time to find my family and I finally found them last summer. This December I will actually get to go meet family. (Hopefully) if my professors let me take my finals early. Anyways, I hope you get to actually get to meet your birth family! Good luck with teaching English in Korea! I will do the same soon also!

Best

[ykidkwis]

yes go back!!!! good luck on your move there and keep posting! I hope your mom supports you now...i support you! i used to live off clark street in lincoln park...now i miss it after u mentioned it!

I've put my adoption plans on hold because I'm afraid my daughter will be feeling like she doesn't belong here and will visit Korea and find she doesn't quite fit there anymore either. It sounds like a hard situation, one I don't know I can't personally inflict on someone. To cause them issues later in life, when maybe they could have a life in Korea and possibly be adopted there. It was a sad revelation to have, but I suppose we will not adopt, not really for our sakes but for hers. Good luck

My goal is to teach English in Korea as well. I've never been, but I really want to go. It seems like a pretty amazing place in a lot of respects, from what I've seen and heard about it.

[jaeness]

haha, i didn't even see this before i made my decision to run off to korea. thanks for your kind words though =)

[lkeiyoun]

umm:) ~ I'm a Korean adoptee also and I am always so interested in other adoptee stories. Even though they're are similar in some ways, our stories are very different. So you're from IL huh? I'm from WI. Thanks for your story.

[myschild]
