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.
