Today is the first class in our new four class set. Our reading is about Afghanistan. It is a touch longer than our normal readings, so this week we will not have listening material. It is a very interesting read that detailed what is happened during the evacuation.

Short answer to questions- The first question has been proposed. We will discuss today and you can start your writing after our discussion.

The question is as follows: I have 3 adoptee children;
2004 male - 2005 female - 2007 male.
If my children were ever to return to Korea to find their families or themselves;
1. Would the Korean community really accept them as Korean.
2. If they didn’t know the language would that be looked upon negatively. Would you suggest they learn the language before returning?
3. Basically, would they be looked upon negatively because they were adopted and raised in America??

Many Korean ethnic friends who are raised among Koreans call my children “Wasian” (white-Asian) meaning they are not true Korean. Meanwhile, my children were born in SK and these children were born in USA. Since they don’t eat Korean and speak Korean daily, they aren’t welcomed into the group.
