[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I swear every Korean adopted kid I've met has been depressed or anxiety ridden.  Is just Korean adoptees?   Obvious can't be but Any statistics out there amongst cultures?[/quote]

Yes there is reeearch that confirms it’s common in international adoptees.[/quote]

How so?-  versus domestic adopted kids.[/quote]
 
I don’t know the research. But it’s got to be tough to know that your mother chose not to keep you. I know a number of teens that are struggling with this, mine included. [/quote]

How do you know that this was truly the mother’s choice?  How many first mothers are pressured and coerced and told repeatedly that the most living thing, the most selfless thing, the most courageous thing is to give up their child?  That to parent  a baby when they are young and poor is reckless and selfish and deluded?  How many young women get matched with adoptive parents early in urge process, bond with them, and feel pressure and guilt if they follow their steal instinct to keep their baby?  How many women feel unprepared, unsupported, terrified, and are told that the best thing they can do is hand over their baby?

Please try to understand the experience that your child’s mother may have had before surrendering her child.  The loss.  The trauma.  The lack of support.  It is really important for your child to understand the context of most adoptions so that your child will know that it is not a situation of not being “wanted”. [/quote]
