@stephxhoney very true. I guess I should've said we didn't want the difference to be so obvious. Mainly because people are nosey and ask a lot of questions. I don't think there is anything at all wrong with interracial adoption, it just scares me. I know that I personally am not equipped (or maybe just too intimidated) to face the racial/cultural issues right now. Of course, I plan to always be completely open with our child about his/her story. Keep up the good info :)

@BrandonandKelly06 i think regardless of where you adopt from-- the adopted child will always struggle with not fitting in-- it's more important how you help them deal with that struggle that counts.

TAKEOUT ENTERTAINMENT | Asian-American Media Stereotypes - pt. 1by TakeOutEntertainment11,670 views
This really strikes a chord with me. Thank you for putting things in a unique light. The story really starts with being abandoned. But even more so, the expectations of all adopted koreans is different. The struggle is always to feel the need to fit in, as we never have had that feeling. Even if it seems we completely "fit" in, the feeling is still there.

@endari very true. sometimes we are capable blending in if we need to, but there is always the internal battle.

I love your videos. We are in the process of adopting. We chose to adopt within the US, and this is why. We don't want our child to feel like they never fit in. We know that a child of another culture would not "be like" our friends and family, even though WE would see them no differently. You can't just adopt a child and forget where they came from. Your videos give great insight and advice! I am glad you are acknowledging your thoughts and feelings, while still seeming like you really love
