I was told by the agency it was a mistake, but I guess Iām not surprised if thatās a lie too. Sigh.

And then people act like we should be grateful they tried to connect us to it at all.
I feel robbed. I feel the loss of my culture and language so deeply it hurts. And trying to connect to it feels at once wonderful and painful.
And thatās where my head is swimming around today.

her joy for getting to eat her food again is showing what has been taken from her.
And this is what I keep circling around on recently about how culture is stolen from us. That any attempt to āgive it back to usā or āmake sure itās in our livesā is to give us a piece of what was stolen.

My parents took me to maybe a handful of Korean cultural events when I was a kid. As much as I loved them, they also gave me a lot of anxiety and stoked my abandonment issues.
And I felt stolen from, because I shouldnāt have to go to cultural events to learn about Korea, itās my culture.

If you donāt wanna give them the views: (summary) whiteās family takes Deaf Indian adoptee to get Indian food and films her incredibly excited reaction. Everyone in the comments thinks itās so adorable and heartwarming.

YMMV but I got the outcome I feared most and it hasnāt been as bad as I thought. My life hasnāt shaken apart. I wasnāt destroyed.
Not saying you should do it or not, but just saying I get that fear and this was my experience.

I did it a couple years ago, and the agency got no response from biomom and a flat out rejection from biodad. He said I didnāt exist, apparently.
I didnāt do it until I felt pretty secure in myself and my other relationships. It hasnāt been as bad as I thought.

This is why it took me ages to start the birth search. I had this fear for the longest time. I felt like a second rejection from them would destroy me.
*cw for the next bit: adoptee rejection/abandonment*

They stood up to Yoon. They said no to tyrannical rule. The members of the assembly got together and said no, because they are not going back.
And I feel fucking proud of Koreans and to be Korean.

Adoption is full of weird, complicated feelings (itās all the trauma). So, it took me a long time to feel like I could claim Korea in any way. Now, Iām building my relationship to my heritage bit by bit.
Korea, like every nation, has problems, but today the people of Korea resisted martial law.

And thatās why my disabilities are at play in why I couldnāt finish an earlier post.
In that way, this post is kind of perfect. All of my disabilities participated in getting me here.
That is what disability is like to me. Itās ever present, it plays into every part of my life.

Itās hard to believe what I have to say even matters or that my experience will actually mean anything to anyone.
Itās hard not to worry about the consequences of a post getting too much traction.
Itās hard not to anticipate a negative reaction.

If you want āfamilyā to mean something, you have to make it mean something.
You canāt just buy or have children and get their love, attention, or loyalty for life.

In fact, it is evidence to support the truth of your words.
We are 4x more likely to attempt suicide than non-adoptees.

2. Profiting from either is the worst kind of soulless capitalistic individualism.
comment in response to

Yes! Absolutely this.
1. No one should have to live in poverty, and no one should want children to be ripped from their families, cultures, countries, and ancestors. Itās cruel. Poverty is cruel. Adoption is cruel.
Doing everything we can to prevent that should be our goal.

85 baby here and very much an elder millennial.
I learned the racist one, and people were definitely using it thru the 90s where I grew up (upstate ny).
