The reality of inter-racial adoptions Empty The reality of inter-racial adoptions

Post by MulaiAzhagi Wed Feb 01, 2012 12:20 am

When we arrive to Sweden, we have to give up our Korean identity, and it doesn't matter whether we are five weeks or seven years old. We are emptied of our Koreanness including, and are filled up with Swedishness. One effect is that few adoptees remember their childhood in their birth country. Everything un-Swedish is considered "forbidden": we are here on the Swedes' conditions. Everything linked to Korea is taboo or slandered. Korea is contemptuously considered to be a "bad" and "poor" country. Many adoptive parents have strange fantasies about Korea with strong sexual undertones: "your mother was a prostitute", "you are an incest child" and "if you had been in Korea today, either you would have been dead or a prostitute".

The adoptive parents want the adopted children to feel "chosen", but in reality adoption is nothing else but a grim lottery. Behind this is the demand from the adoptive parents to feel eternally grateful, loyal, satisfied and happy. The truth is that we would never have been here in the West without a colonial history of 500 years, without today's unequal world order, and without the dominating ideal of the middle-class nuclear family.

Angelina Jolie goes around with a korean kid on her waist .

She has had a dubious past yet given custody of so many adopted kids

I am not impressed

A korean kid if needs to be adopted should be so by korean or at least by Asia parents

such a child if adopted by the West undergoes scrutiny by parents other step siblings and school and college kids

It is a disservice to them

PS I am surprised at Swedish people insisting on exclusive rights

Every people - not just the Swedish - insist on exclusive rights. Huntsmans are very rare in this world.
