After you meet enough adoptees, you realise that there are too many different experiences, so adoption means different things to different people. Some had it good, some had it bad... and it was just a matter of luck in terms of which environment we'd end up in. One thing I know though, is that the adoptee community working together is beneficial to us all.
Kim, I would love to hear some of your thoughts on this study -- and how it relates to your own experiences. I never thought of you as white; did you think of yourself that way? I always thought it was so great that your Mom and Dad kept you connected to your Korean culture -- at least when you were younger. I am so glad you are currently having this experience with your Korean family and heritage; I am sure you will be a richer human being for that experience! But -- we will surely be glad to have you back here!!!!
