O.k. so I've been lagging in writing...I'm just now use to blogs, yet.....Well I have to say this, with the new trend in "adopting" I'm hopeful that more and more adoptee's will read this. Its a wonderful gift believe me to be adopted. I was in an orphange, two weeks old, and then adopted by an american family, along with 100 other girls. I am thankful that I was adopted and brought to the United States, I am, but I do wish that my parents had been a little more conscience, that I was Asian, and given me more exposure to that as a kid. I'm not saying only having asian friends, and asian schools and asian tv shows, but something. To make me feel like I belonged to something. Because even now, I have identity issues, and it sucks.
Its not that I'm not proud of being Asian, but I have nothing to identify it with. I was never around other Asians, I always felt different and ugly. I hate admitting that, but I did. I wanted to have blonde hair, and blue eyes, and everytime I realized that wouldn't happen, it would really get me sad.
See I have a childhood friend that adopted a little Korean boy and he is adorable!! She's been amazing with his identification process, keeping it real, I guess that he is Asian and that he should be proud of it. Granted he's only like 3, but still better late than never...
