Looks like it was breaking her heart. Glad you showed this... it is a wonderful tribute to her love for the child.

This baby needs to stay in its country and find a blood relative to raise him or her.

We had a similar experience at Holt when we brought our daughter home. Even though she had many foster kids over the year, the foster mom was still very attached to her and their parting was difficult. Of course, we felt in a way like we were stealing her child, too. We and our daughter are very lucky that she had such a loving foster mother who did such a great job raising her from age 0 to 9 months.

Although there is no sound as I watch this, this is an unbelievable bit of video and a tribute to the love that goes into both sides of the adoption. We adopted our 2 1/2 year old from Kazakhstan 6 months ago. Best wishes to you!

@sindyk117 unfortunately adoption is frowned upon in Korea unless it's of a blood relative. That is changing though and the younger generation is adopting at a rate much higher than their parents did. The Korean government wants to suspend all international adoption by 2012 but that may not happen as they are still only at about 15% domestic adoption. If the child had stayed in Korea, chances are he would not be adopted, and would live his life in an institution. Eventually that may change.

we went through the same thing at the Holt office with Ms. Lee looking on as well ... it was hard for everyone! Definitely keep in touch with the foster mom! She will appreciate all the photos and updates you send.
