[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's awful. Imagine if we shipped out kids in foster care to be adopted in another country because it would cost less than keeping them in foster care? And their parents just ... lost touch. Man, just when I'm thinking our US gov't is awful, South Korea says hold my beer.[/quote]

And Guatemala and China and Russia and Vietnam and …

Any nation that fosters a gigantic pipeline of kids to MC and UMC countries is deeply suspect. And frankly should have been ***at the time***

Ive always believed that desperate American parents just didn’t want to know on a subconscious level. Even as a 12 yr old girl surrounded by these international adoptees in my middle school I knew it didn’t pass the smell test.

Really? An entire nation of moms is sending its babies to Chicago willingly?

[b]Extra scorn for all my highly, highly educated and compensated lawyer-doctor neighbors with young adult kids born in China and Guatemala who didn’t dare ask questions. They absolutely knew better and didn’t want to know.[/b] [/quote]

And this is why, as a Korean adoptee and an adoptive parent of a Korean child, I'm so glad we're not a conspicuous family so we can escape your scorn.  You have no idea what my child's history is so please save your judgement for someone else. [/quote]
