You are one hilarious idiot!

Mr. Poeteray:

Like the rest of the world, I am outraged by your grotesque rejection of your adopted daughter. You have not only traumatized an orphan, but you have robbed her of seven crucial years of her life that might have been spent bonding with better people. Decent people.

Rest assured that I will not be the only one out there who will always remember your name.

Finally, please also know that there is a special place in hell reserved for you and your wife.

The Dutch couple is Raymond and Meta Poeteray. The girl’s name is Jade.

Does this allude to your own childhood experience? Is your anger against parents who give up their children stem from your own experience with it?

It just sounds like your bitter there Peter. Are you also korean? I don’t see why your so bent against “people in Korea” when every country in the world has orphans and have put them up for adoptions.

Also i would like you to elaborate on the 1000 adoptees of korean orphans to America. I want to see what percentage of the American Parents that are adopting korean babies or orphans are korean. After all you have heard of L.A. koreatown? That is the largest population of Koreans outside of South Korea.

Seriously, you need to stop hating. If you already acknowledged that what this dutch couple has done is wrong, why do you continue this farce of an argument?

Everyone already knows its bad that people give up their kids. its not only South Korean people that do it. Hell i’d be really interested to see how many Japanese orphans there are in Japan?

But I will have to say ’sayonara’ (a cleaver gag wasn’t it — I get it, I’m in Japan, so you say something in Japanese right?) because you (nor a few other commenters) have proven for all your inability to read, discuss, and to be mature and do all of this without waging personal attacks and reducing yourself to profanities like a mature adult.

I’ve criticized your reasoning and your generalizations but not you. Please don’t go before providing data to support your claim that “thousands upon thousands of Koreans do the same thing.” You cited statistics showing that 1,600 Korean children were adopted by US families. This statistic implies that you make no distinction among the reasons why parents put their children up for adoption. In other words, the parents of the 1,600 infants plus others remaining in Korea or adopted by other international families “did the same thing” as the Dutch couple. You wrote:

I’m not sticking up for this couple in any way shape or form. What I am doing is calling hypocrisy for all those who attack this couple yet have nothing to say for the birth parents who gave the child up in the first place.

This statement and your statistic imply strongly you think that all parents who give up children for adoption are equally wrong. I disagree vigorously. A single teenager got pregnant because she had unprotected sex with her boyfriend and isn’t ready to be a mom is doing the child a favor by giving it up. A couple with three children deeply in debt are making a desperate choice. We do not condemn the birth parents because A) we do not know the reasons why they gave up the child; and B) we believe that there are some legitimate reasons for putting a child up for adoption. If you think parents giving children for adoption is always wrong, then you will disagree with us, but that does not make us hypocrites because as I’ve stated a number of times: We do not know the circumstances of the birth parents; therefore, we cannot evaluate their decision.
