Скачать или смотреть International vs. Domestic Adoption - FAQ#3: Why We Decided to Adopt From Korea

I wasn't sure how to vlog about the next FAQ subject of 'International vs. Domestic Adoptions' so I just decided the best thing to do was to fill you in on how we made the decision to choose South Korea. In this vlog, I touch upon the very personal reason why Korea was the best fit for our family and some of the guilt I had for even choosing South Korea although we are of Korean descent. Some of the differences between International Adoption, Domestic Private Adoption, and Foster to Adopt is mentioned along the way as well.

*Sidenote: I briefly talk about some trans-racial adoption thoughts, but not in the amount of detail it deserves, so I ask that you view what I say about it with an open mind considering it is a very sensitive subject. I do want to put out there that I am not opposed to trans-racial adoptions and have personally witnessed the great love and support some families of trans-racial adoptions have for each other. But being a Korean-American, I am sharing our story in hopes to help fill an area that is not as represented in the adoption community.

Mentions: Off the top of my head, the crowdfunding organizations specific to adoption that come to mind are @AdoptTogether and @AdoptaLoveStory. If you are familiar with others, please don't hesitate to share in the comments so others may be able to benefit from these sites.

As always, this is very personal to me (and I probably didn't explain everything as well as I hoped!) but I tried to be as open as possible in case it helps someone in some small way.
