Korean Adoption

The reason is very different in the two countries. In Korea, because single mothers are shunned, so they give up their newborns even if they are wealthy, and Koreans tend not to adopt.

In China, because of the one-child policy and the desire for sons. So if a girl is born, it is often given up.

You're on CRACK Lady. Actually, all of you who think this adoption is the most wonderful thing in the world ARE ON CRACK. Coming from a REAL adoptee.

I think it's also good that he now has a mother who was herself adopted and raised in a predominantly white society. At least he'll have someone else who's gone through what he's experienced.

the baby is cute!

I think many adoptees ARE well adjusted. You just never hear about them. I liken it to the horror stories people tell about pregnancy and delivery. You never hear about the painless ones, really.

i agree! sometimes i even think that the there should be law that says all families who want to have a child have to adopt the first one! it would help so many orphan kids out there! hahaha. but of course, that law exists in the perfect little world in my mind :P

Good idea but from my experience...... it's hard to love someone's child...it's hard enough to love your own....ahhaha

its hard to love? haha
never heard that before...
especially for you're own child :P
just my opinion tho...its an ideal situation :)

Stupid. When ur adopting an orphan, it iS ur own child, I am adopted and ofc my adoptive parents sees me as their own child and not my fellow adopted Korean friend. They love their adopted Korean children and don't give a shit about me. Why? caus' I am not their child, but their adopted children are.

wow. My husband was adopted from Korea through Holt international 32 years ago. My husband and I are now adopting a daughter through Holt. My husband is a wounderful man and is very thankful that his bio family gave him to his adoptive family.
