A lot of people have been asking, "How was your trip?", " I can't wait to hear about your trip!", "Did you find out anything to help you find your family?" Well... I have thoughts. But I certainly have a lot more to process through. But it's a start.

Much of my life I didn’t want to go back to Korea. I didn’t want to admit that you’re right I wasn’t born here. I didn’t want to go back to a place that didn’t w…

Well it's November 1st the start of yet another . I knwo Billy and I feel different on a lot of things when it comes to adoptiong and personally for me this is my 3rd year of reconizing this month. I've felt pretty burnt out in life lately so I wasn't sure how much I was going to participate. But this article I read struck me. So I'd like to share it with you all now.

“True love allows, honors and appreciates.” If adoption meant true love, there would be no secrets, lies, money, manipulation, ego or control. Love cannot grow in the presence of these – “attachment is the near enemy of love.” https://www.myadopteetruth.com/blog/attachment-isnt-love-even-in-adoption?fbclid=IwAR2hNrOdds0VdiZv5ZuOjAPBKXUp-RpblQVwlF8QxHUXt86VMzYM4_Ov9K4

In South Korea, overseas adoption became a method of resolving the issue of inadequate welfare for those in poverty, abandoned children, and single mothers by sending Korean children overseas. Many children were shipped off to the US “in the guise of orphans,” even when they were known to have parents. This was also a business that earned the government foreign currency. The Korean adoptees represented an issue that American society had to wrestle with. “Answering the question of what Korean children symbolized had a major impact on how Americans defined race, nationality, citizenship, and family.”

They may treat us like we can be bought and sold, but we are human beings and deserve to be treated as such. So it may be but let's remember that adoptive parents are not consumers as we are not commodities.

Our hearts are broken. And to know some that survived the Michigan State University shooting also survived the Oxford High shooting or Sandy Hook shooting tells you just how broken our system is. Let's pass laws that keep those living here safe.

"Kim added, “The meaning of the term ‘normal family’ should be changed. Any family is normal as long as the members are happy. A family with parents and children that abuse each other is not normal. A child raised by a single mother, a single father, grandparents or any other guardian can be just as happy as any other child [from a nuclear family] and we need to realize that.” Perhaps if the definition begins to change, less kids will be given up for adoption. https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2021/03/28/culture/features/single-father-Sarang-birth-registration/20210328153300693.html

Being a single mother in Korea comes with its own difficulties, but for single fathers, it’s an entirely different story. Before 2015, it was near impossible for single fathers to register their children without the child’s mother, because ...
