Korean response to Sueppel tragedy

Another article about this tragedy. Interesting figures about domestic Korean adoption included.

S. Korean adoption agency saw no problem with American parents

By Kim Hyun

SEOUL, March 27 (Yonhap) -- A South Korean adoption agency said Thursday that it had seen no signs of any problem with the American couple who adopted the four Korean children found dead this week, calling the deaths of the entire family "unimaginable."

"We are shocked and dismayed. I can't find words to describe it," Hong Mee-kyung, a director of overseas adoption at Holt Children's Services Inc. in Seoul, said. "Considering the personalities and the attitudes they have shown, it's unimaginable."

"He killed them because he thought they were really his children" ??????

I think we can all agree that he should have crashed his car FIRST.

Harlow's Monkey

I am a social worker who doesn’t believe that social work is just about "saving" people or "helping" people. Social work is about reform and empowerment, not about social control. I am attempting to be an agent of change from within the institutional structures that historically have been used to discriminate against those our society does not value. This blog was born in March of 2006 as a way to put down my thoughts about international and transracial adoption, foster care, race and social work from a point of view that is often missing - the adoptee themselves.
