Dutch diplomat gives up adopted daughter after 7 years

December 12th, 2007

I just read a very disturbing article about a Dutch diplomat and his wife giving up a South Korean girl to social workers, after they had adopted her seven years earlier. The reason the couple gave for giving up the child was “culture shock.” How can culture shock even be an issue when you’ve raised the kid since she was a baby! Furthermore, people should be adopting kids because they want to provide them with a good home, not because they want the kids to make them happy. There’s no such thing as “not working out” when it comes to raising children. I think the Dutch diplomat and his wife are probably racist since the South Korean girl doesn’t fit in with their other children (in terms of looks), and they are also very selfish for only thinking about themselves and not the girl.

    Apparently not wanting to eat their food means that she is in culture shock. And now that they have “their own children” I guess the Korean daughter isn’t good enough. WTF! If their biological children didn’t want to eat “their” food would they trash them too? People are so sickening. They should be charged with child endangerment and abandonment.

    This is one of the reasons I am against international adoption. Most people are just selfish. If they really wanted to “give the child a better life” then you would sponsor them and provide for their education and other expenses than tearing them away from their culture and heritage.

    That’s exactly what I’m thinking too. Maybe now parents should all just give up their children if they refuse to eat spinach, by claiming “culture shock.” The fortunate thing from all this is that the girl will at least be rid of such idiotic parents.
