idk much about korea, only from what i have learned from the few books that i have read and WOM. i am guessing that i was probably born to a single mother and in korea i would have been treated like a 2nd or 3rd class citizen. i probably would not have the same rights, education or oppty's. . (or so i am told) When i tell other koreans that i am adopted, they look at me with pity. i laugh. i am not ashamed. i i am adopted and actually quite proud of it. i like to claim myself to be a "polish-asian" chick i have never had abandoment issues. if anything i know that i am wanted. my biological mother was unselfish enough to give me up for a better life, another chance, a bigger opportunity. my parents jumped through hoops to adopt my sister and I . (yes they were crazy enough to do it a second time!) I have no interest in searching for my parents. it sometimes irks me when people ask me "don't you want to find your real parents?" my "real" parents are the ones that raised me, not the ones that conceived me. My childhood was not a storybook but i do respect, love and appreciate my parents more every day. i guess if you are a parent that adopts, you have to be secure enough, strong enough and love enough for your child that you will understand whatever decision that they make. (just like you would w/ any other life's decison, biological offspring or not ) so one day i would like to have my own little "suesaj's" but if i cant.. yes i would adopt, w/o a doubt!
