From the start ...Thank you for your kind comments! From the start of the China adoption process, we have considered it as something wonderful both for us and for the child who needs a home. Moreover, when we first began steps to adopt, it didn't occur to us that some people might not see such an adoption as all good. We have, however, encountered the reports of child trafficking as well as reading and hearing the statements of adult international adoptees (mainly from Korea, because of the timeframe) about the identity struggles of being in a cross-cultural family. These things reflect more negatively on international adoption.<BR/><BR/>To hear comments like yours — and from someone with connections to China (您是中国人? Nin shi Zhongguoren ma?) — helps us remain positive and hopeful that we are doing the right thing.<BR/><BR/>谢谢您! Xie xie nin!Babahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342247794193981287noreply@blogger.com
