Before orphanages became marketing tools for tourist dollars and collecting stations for shipping kids overseas (i.e., a long, long time ago), a group of students at Central Michigan University adopted an orphanage. They sent money to them over several years to provide clothing, food, and other necessities like an ox and pigs. The orphans, now grown up, still remember those students. “I’ll tell you what I like to think to myself,” Kirwan muses. “When I […]
very professionally done set of videos. he’s also a rapper:
amazing speech. interesting details: * approx 80% of children in orphanages are not orphans * children raised in orphanages are 500x more likely to commit suicide, and 40x more likely to have a criminal record. * even assuming the very best orphanage, these children re-experience the cycle of abandonment every 8 hours when workers go off-shift With a happy ending involving family-based care. Cambodia won’t be faced with the false dilemma of leaving kids in […]

This was a facebook post that fully captured the feelings of kads after hyunsu’s murderer was given a light sentence. There is explicit language below, but it is in line with the sentiment. The writer is a kad and a Marine, and i have never seen him swear in his posts before this one. === 7/19/2016 is a sad day to be a Korean Adoptee. Hyunsu was beaten to death by his “Deadly Dad!” And […]
The death is a tragedy. The light sentence is a farce (at the bottom of the sentencing guidelines, potentially 4 years with “good behavior”). But what makes you want to punch someone is how many people involved in the adoption failed, because the child was the least important part of the entire transaction. his military doctor suggesting that he go off his ptsd meds so that he can pass the drug test. “Helping” someone with […]
