Inter Country Adoption Swedish Style

The following is only based on my personal experiences and shouldn't be viewed or considered as a general representation or experience of Korean adoptees in Sweden or abroad...

  1. When prospective adoptive parents is informed of an available child they very often pressume it is an orphan or child who needs to be rescued from a very bad life
  2. Almost immediately or even before getting the message they've been waiting for so long to recieve they start to think of babynames, Swedish baby names
  3. They don't even consider the need for the child to gain knowledge and experiences of Korean culture other then from fellow adoptive families and such
  4. They truly seem to believe that adoption the child's happiness is restored and their original culture and possible memories of it is also erased
  5. They repeat, remind and tell the adoptive child  mostly indirectly or by minor indications the child was saved and therefore should be grateful towards his or her's new parents
  6. By impossing the belief that child should be forever grateful the child may at first truly start to believe this; what adoptive parents not only wants the child to believe but also very much belives themeselves
  7. An adoptee that has been saved and gained a new loving family should be happy and not become critical towards international adoption or especially Korean adoption...
