South Korea admits to 'mass exporting' children for adoption

4. International adoption -- it needs to be stopped

As someone who was adopted internationally-- essentially what you have is baby selling. It isn't adoption.

It's hard enough for a child to realize that not only did their mother/family reject them, so did their country.

It's very difficult for someone who doesn't know the language to try to find their history.

A child adopted internationally usually loses their name, their language, their heritage and they face an almost impossible burden to find the truth.

For me, it was a forty year search. I have an inherited medical condition. How many international adoptees suffer from inherited medical issues?

I want you to imagine if a Korean family came to America and tried to adopt a white child. What do you think would happen? The myth of "saving the child for Christ" has to stop. Paying $30,000 to a Russian "orphanage" in cash (they don't take VISA) has to stop.

A child should remain in their own country.
