[quote=Anonymous]Well there may be more research on Korean adoptees because it is the oldest and largest international adopted group, international adoption started in the 50s. I’m a Korean adoptee. I have a hard time separating my adoption from other issues, such as race. They all go together. As a kid I was stared at everywhere we went and usually had tons of questions. And back then, there was no coaching for parents on race or how to handle anything so whatever their feelings were about an issue, that was all you got. That was terribly depressing and I struggled. As I got older and could voice my experiences and met other adult adoptees, I realized I wasn’t crazy and that I did have challenging circumstances to navigate on my own with no help. Now I am well adjusted, married, successful enough and have my own family. [/quote]
