After Seven Years, Dutch Diplomat Couple Returns their Adopted Korean Daughter
Raymond Poeteray, vice consul at the Dutch Consulate General in Hong Kong, and his wife, Meta, adopted baby “Jade” from South Korea in 2000 at the age of four months. The couple believed themselves to be infertile at the time.
The diplomat’s wife subsequently conceived two biological children. The couple then left their eight-year-old adopted daughter in foster care, claiming she was never able to integrate into their family, and that “it was difficult to raise her because of culture shock.”
Upon the child’s abandonment in Hong Kong, officials discovered that the parents never registered the child as a citizen or even a resident, and she had no legal status or protection under the Dutch, Hong Kong, or Korean governments.

this poor child holy shit imagine being abandoned at 7 7 that is old enough to remember and- just- these people should...
While i disagree vehemently with what this couple did, i resent the implication that the reason they did it is simply...
WHYYY? It doesn’t matter if she came out of your damn vagina or not. She was your BABY. Who the hell does this???
It’s like that bitch in the States who adopted a Russian boy “couldn’t cope” and then put him on a plane back to Russia...
This is the most horrific thing. When you adopt a child THEY ARE YOUR CHILD. period.
