You're so fantastic. Thanks for being awesome.
aww. <3
that reminds me: folks once again, if any of yall have any ideas or leads on how to proceed with finding a birth mother in South Korea, PLEASE hit up our Ask!
These are Hyunsooklee’s records as provided by her behemoth adoption agency, Holt. Here is some more information on her birth mother.
People find birth family members via the Internet & social media far more than one would expect.
Obviously, it’s more difficult when the search is cross-continental, so it would be nothing short of ROCKET LAUNCH AHMAZING if we could in some measure help this big-hearted, brilliant Class Bastard reunite with hers.

North Korean adoptions approved in US
The Telegraph (U.K.)The US Congress has approved a bill which aims to make it possible for Americans to adopt orphaned North Korean children.
Yikes. :/
Oh god I wonder how many of those orphans are not actually orphans…..
some people have asked my opinion on this. i wrote about it before here.
main point: most of the children this law targets are NOT orphans. read: they have parents. this is the legal abduction of children made possible by the fact that their mothers are country-less defectors on the run - helpless to protest in china since they are there illegally.
I can already hear the white saviors defending and condoning this bullshit. I feel fucking sick.
Who gives a fuck? Both of my hisband’s sisters were born in Korea (one north, one south) and they both turned out amazing. So again….who cares?
i was adopted from south korea, along with my twin sister, and we both turned out amazing. and whattayaknow? i STILL give a fuck. the US and adoption agencies, and adoptive parents should NOT be taking advantage of the perilous situation of the mothers who are north korean defectors living illegally in china by swooping in and stealing their children.
“Kidnapped babies can turn out fine, who gives a fuck”
Compelling argument there, theemeraldmeow. Lots of abused children also turn out amazing, so who gives a fuck about child abuse, right? Kidnapping, child abuse, pshhh! Nice. Good thing most human beings are hard-wired with a social instinct which compels them to give a fuck when they see a baby coming to harm, as Mencius argued 2,400 years ago, though obviously we’ll always have a few laggards hanging around as seen above.
Survived kidnapping and far more that defies common belief, and oop, turned out far more amazing and accomplished than all my sheltered, lily-white peers combined — BIO SPAWN STAY PRESSED.
theemeraldmeow apparently wasn’t even kidnapped, maybe it’s worth hearing their reasons as to why they turned out to be a racist, provincial moron.

Court to decide whether South Korean baby will be deported

“Mother,” I slowly repeated in Korean. “I am not a boy. I am a girl. I am transgender.” My face reddened, and tears blurred my vision. I braced myself for her rejection and the end to a relationship that had only begun.
Silence again filled the room. I searched my mother’s eyes for any signs of shock, disgust or sadness. But a serene expression lined her face as she sat with ease on the couch. I started to worry that my words had been lost in translation. Then my mother began to speak[…]

havent seen the show itself, but pretty impressed that transgender character roles are actually being given to transgender actors/actresses instead of
a cisgendered person pretending to be transgendered.now if we could just get them to stop casting korean actors as adoptees with their perfect korean…
