The Korean War Baby presents THIS STORY as another reason for Korean people to reconsider the Abortion option. Yet, if this young girl was born alive and discovered to be “GASP…damaged with ear problems” well, only a Few Brave Koreans, REAL KOREANS, would even consider adopting her. She would have been one of the 97% of Special Needs children sent to Overseas families willing to take them. YES, only 3% of the yearly SN children are adopted by local Korean families because, well, it would be embarrassing for them. We have a LONG way to go yet...

HOW DARE SOME OF YOU, claim some NONSENSE that ALL InterCountry Adoptions should STOP. What is your answer for the Special Needs children? Will you stop them from finding a family? What of the Half-breeds like the Korean War Baby? Should we all have been “terminated with extreme prejudice?” What say you to that? EH?
I am certain that MOST of you would NOT think that, except for some lamebrain idiots (if the shoe fits…), most of you are educated and MUST be aware of the circumstances of the Societies of “Sending countries”, such as Korea and Haiti…Some reports have it that adults in Haiti have escaped to the USA and left their children as SINGLE orphans, abandoned and Unwanted by their family/society.
“ Some of the children lost their parents in previous
disasters, including four tropical storms or hurricanes that killed about 800 people in 2008, deadly storms in 2005 and 2004, and massive floods almost every other year since 2000. Others were abandoned amid the Caribbean nation's long-running political strife, which has led thousands to seek asylum in the U.S. - without their children - or by parents who were simply too poor to care for them.” Seatle Times Article
There are no simple answers but ABSOLUTE and ALL INCLUSIVE statements are foolishness. This is just one of the comments that a few posted on a social network, against others with no consideration or thought. The case was certainly a very extreme case of a woman who has given many of her children away for adoption. Certainly she needs some counsel but the hate of some few against both the “surrogate woman” and the families who adopted is par for the course with a few extremists:
“i wrote to the adopter. i think they're both ASSHATS. Any woman who gave a child up for adoption who doesn't walk around with a massive guilt load has no heart or soul.” 1st poster
“…these women are BOTH heartless. they are BOTH child abusers and they BOTH deserve to be locked the phuck up. i HATE evil, greedy, baby hungry mother phuckers like this.” 2nd poster
This conversation went on and on, such hate and preconceived judgment against ALL women who give up and people who are willing to “Take by Choice” an unwanted child. The KWB tried to be civil in his response…WHERE ARE THEIR MINDS?
NOT everyone feels this way, there are extremes on “almost every camp”. Can’t we all get along? BUT what a story of a miracle, you may not believe it but the ways of God are difficult to fathom. The KWB has seen some of these things with his own eyes, yet also seen the Perfect Healing-death and on to the eternal life beyond this world. May he be found worthy on the day of his own passing. May you also know ‘peace that passes understanding’ in whatever faith you believe in.
