  • Totally agree with what he said, how can i get the whole movie? As i live in Hong Kong, can someone please tell me?

  • Dr. Lee makes a lot of assumptions about the experience of a "natural family." Not all people born into a family have a sense of belonging or feeling of pride in their birth family. Many insecurities felt by adoptees are feelings that are also experienced by individuals born into "natural" families. Do not jump to the conclusion that this statement is insensitive. Be objective. It is true that many people raised in their birth families experience overwhelming emotional difficulties as well.

  • Why is it that Asian men can't get white women? Answer that question Dr. Lee.

  • hi doc!

  • Haha, asian females crazily wanna be white, but not fit in.

  • But on the flip side of the coin, why are caucasian us ppl adopting asian babies/chldren in droves... more than any other country in the world... and saying how beautiful they are?

  • @codealpha1 exactly. looks like you understand what the dr is saying but you don't have 5 thumbs ups.

  • at least someone finally said it

  • @slappymcgroundout somebody doesn't know how to understand a video, watch it again

  • @nrekeweg ... from anywhere else. Adoptees float in their lives. A biological child may be able to feel like a bad fit but they can point at their family and say, "I'm different to them." An adopted child has no strong sense of self so the equivalent statement from an adoptee might be, "I don't know who I am to be so different." The biological child views it's world from a bedrock of history, the adopted child fantasizes it's being from a cloud of mystery.
