Read the NY Times article that wrote about it on Oct. 10 2008. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/09/world/asia/09adopt.html?_r=2&ei=5070&emc=eta1&pagewanted=print A very interesting article…I remember going to Korea with other adoptee families and an absolute stranger walked up to me and said “shameful” and wouldn’t look at me. It makes me angry because I’m wayyy better off in the U.S. than I would have if I’d stayed in my orphanage in S. Korea. I agree with the Holt International rep. about it being good that the gov. offers more incentives and continues to do campaigning around the issue, BUT there would be a lot of children who’s last hope for a future where they have the opportunity to reach their potential will be shattered. Think of how many children are the product of a “shameful” acts and left at hospitals, churches, police stations, orphanages, left in market places? There are way too many kids and not enough willing families in Korea to give them a loving home. So then what? Is that it? Do we shut out their chance for a better life even if the adoptive parents aren’t South Korean? If the government is truly thinking about the welfare of these children, they must consider giving these children all the chance to become successful adults- their image to not only the international community, but to the adoptee community depends on it.

People who are considering adoption are reading your thoughts and mulling attitudes over. It helps to know that no matter what one does someone is going to be angry. It is actually kind of freeing. The children are the bottom line; they are the priority here. I wish for them beautiful lives whether adopted in Korea or elsewhere. Also, if Korea doesn't already have a program that allows for ongoing contact with the original mom and/or dad, I sorely wish they would come up with one. It would be so helpful for children (and their original parents!) to be able to keep in touch if desired. It seems like the whole and beautiful thing to do. It seems the more responsible, honorable and loving thing to do in respect to all members of the triad. Anyway, thanks for many things to ponder.

Lol, I wish I was as motivated as you guys were when typing this so that I could get my reports done. Seriously, how do you do it? Is there this flame... that... that bursts (at the bottom of your stomach) when you read other's posts and find it kind of insulting or mean? Is there? Well if there is, I want that spark. Okay, enough of my (kinda) out of topic ramblings and in my in topic ramblings. Before I start, I just want to state this: JOO JI HOON, I LOVE YOU! MARRY ME! (jk, please don't) Okay, here I go.... Anyway-- Hehee, I forget. :P -- I'm not dumb. I don't want to join this argument cuz I find it not in my favor to do so. I really think its very time consuming to type these essay long posts and somewhat troublesome to reply and ram your thoughts to every other person who disagrees with you. Leave it at that. They don't feel what you're feeling, then let it go. At least you tried. Heehe, Dumpling, sf, Mila , PISSED ADOPTEE… wanna write my O Ambassador Report?
