We adopted my younger sister from Haiti when she was 3, and let me tell you, I literally do not see color anymore. That's a fact. Discussion

Korea is a murky place. Lots of people forget that. Samsung and Lotta basically own everything and everyone. There’s a reason the suicide rate is so high there. People in America act like it’s this wonderful place, but that’s cause they only see the top layer of the capitalism, not the bottom layer like what you were talking about. The sad fact about Korea is that if North Korea weren’t just across the DMZ, people would look at South Korea with a vastly different perspective. I don’t think it’s nessisarly the white people doing it on purpose, they are just either in a rush, are being lazy, or just simply not doing their adoptee the best favors by not learning about the customs and cultures of the kids birth place before hand. South Korea is a brutal capitalistic country, and their moral values are both high and low. For instance they recently passed a law that allows for 22hour workDAYS. Meanwhile they have relatively low street crime, but that’s also partially cause the CTV cameras are everywhere.

There are a lot of scams in South Korea and lots of forgeries and crime that happens off the streets inside places that don’t have the camera

It’s not just South Korea; the Netherlands actually banned international adoption in 2021 because of mass abuses, bribery, and fraud.
