I'm adopted. Born in S Korea. Korean War Baby. As a matter of fact, I have a brother, well 3. One is transgendered but another is adopted from South Korea as well. He has a blog on blogspot,
Korean War Baby
he is a bit off the wall, used to be an actor is on imdb,
Don Gordon Bell
he is a bit off the wall, okay a lot off the wall. refuses to live in the states but very militant about our politics. he is a Vietnam vet. I think he went through some very very bad things as a child in the Korean war and it was brought to the fore in the Vietnam war... but he addresses some of the issues of race and confusion, and particularly adoption. He was 5 and I was 1 1/2 when we were adopted. We both came from the same orphanage.
I worked with a woman in Vegas that was funny, she said she didn't understand the 'African-American' thing. She was American, had never been to Africa, so why the hell would she claim it... of course, she also liked country music and when her dh found a cd of it in the car she lied and told him 'some white girl' left it in the car. I thought the fact that he would not understand her liking Tim McGraw was hysterical.
