I was adopted. I know no other life. I appreciate each and everyone's story. Adopted or not, we all have a story. I am blessed to have my story. I do wish good health, love, and peace to all those that were and are a part of my life.
Lovely. I just want to add, my children are all adopted, and they get to determine how they want to use adoption language. Not all adopted children have a desire to be reunited with their biological families. I have a daughter adopted from China and Korea, neither at this point and time in their lives are interested in finding their biological families, and they do not feel a gap is missing in their lives. However, this could all change. We will support them in finding their bio family.
@dinochickforever me too, it's beautiful and the dear mother now knows her child is alive and well...there are an over-abundance of mothers still yearning for their children or at the very least, some reassurance that they are okay...but in truth, we want our adult children to come home...we want them to know we didn't give them away, they were stolen away in soooo many (millions) of cases...
@Admire My purpose is to inform adoptees that they should look into the circumstances of their adoption...all is not how it seems...
My purpose is to inform mothers who relinquished their children to look into the circumstances...get your medical records, what drugs were you given? How often? Were you drugged leading up to the signing of documents? Did you give permission for your baby to be taken from you at birth? Were you told of the long term consequences of adoption or the help available?
I would like to ask you not to call her a birth-mother...she is that girls mother...always has been, always will be...you can make up all the terms you like but no term will change reality...those of you who suppose law and legality can overthrow nature and reality are delusional...if you adopt a child you make a legal document...do you really believe God and nature see it that way? Man's law is folly, changing with the seasons, the law of God and nature will outlast you all...
@inachu this is a birthmother being reunited with her child again. It has nothing to do with the 1 child policy what-so-ever. This woman was not put up for adoption because of the one child policy. Seeing as this is SOUTH KOREA. Not China. She was put up for adoption because of a personal matter pertaining to the birth mother that is between the mother and her daughter. Your comments make no logical or historical sense.
Please don't call her a birth-mother...she is a mother...adjectives belong with the carers/guardians...the birth of a child makes a woman a mother...you can't be a mother unless you give birth to a child...despite what people like to say...the introduction of a word cannot change a fact...
@mejacgil2010 We are free to use what ever title we feel best fits the subject to be addressed. The mother is the one who has raised you as a mother does. A birth mother is simply a functioning being that held you in an ovary for 9 months and allowed you the opportunity for you to live a better life. But they are in no way a mother, simply because they birthed you. Bitch.
@TheWuerch no way. You don't know why a person gives up for adoption, often to give a better life for their child. Third world countries are a far cry from the one you know. I would NEVER do so, but then again, I wasn't a pregnant teen in a society that would condemn you and leave you to starve for out of wedlock pregnancy. You can't judge.
@TheWuerch As one of 150,000 mums in Australia who were subjected to inhumane and illegal practices in order to ABDUCT our babies to provide infertility depts with adoptable babes. A mother will always be her child's mother, no matter how society, adopters, or any other human being likes to put it...nature can't be changed by laws, or words designed to eliminate the REAL mother from history...try as you might...your theory is only true in your own head and those gullible enough to believe you
@mejacgil2010 As a Korean adoptee, a mother is the one who raises you. That is not an artificial relationship, and you have no entitlement to speak on that behalf. It does not take a BIRTHING process to make someone a mother. I never said a birth-mother does not look out for the well being of the child, but it does not make them a mother. The title of a birth mother is appropriate, and by the way it is not theory, it is a personal opinion and it is true of yours as well.
@TheWuerch Oh and there is no such thing as a "right" opinion, only logical ones and illogical ones and when we get down to semantics it is inarguably correct what I have said. You can cry all you want, blame society all you want, it was your decision, a true mother sticks it out and does whatever possible, like my mother in America has, that's the greatest sacrifice to take something that may not have been yours and to love it. Love and nurture comprises relationships, not 9 months and nature.
@inachu your comment is extremely ignorant and offensive. Gay men have nothing to do with the 1 child policy. The 1 child policy doesn't give up girls for adoption. It means you can only have 1 child. It does not pertain to any gender. What the chinese do with the policy is their social doing. This is Korea. In china foreigners are exempt from the 1 child policy. The child probably refuses to speak korean because they grew up in chinese culture. Check your historical and social skills & leave
This is a beautiful moment. I just recently found out that I was adopted as well (my adoptive parents are Korean and never told me). I often wonder if I'll have this moment. Thank you for sharing such a personal video.
The mother is saying in the video, "Thank you for being alive." The other woman in the video is saying, "There is a resemblance".
@MyOwnOpus don't give up! I found my biological siblings on facebook and it was the best moment of my life. Try searching in social networks, and the hospital where you were born. Good luck :)
@inachu This is Korea you tard.They never have had a one child policy.Not to mention what the hell does having more men then women in a population have to do with gayness??
