Hey there. I am not an adoptee but am thinking about adopting. I was just reading some of these posts because I really want to do the right thing about adopting or not. I am not planing on adopting from Korea but from Africa. My husband, our 2 bio. sons and I are white and I guess I just want to hear your advice on the issue. I was raised in the country that we are looking at adopting from so I feel that I have something to offer culturally to the child we adopt. I would be able to tell them about their herritage because I was a part of that culture for 15 years. What do you think though? Would it be enough? What advice do you have as two adoptees who seem to struggle with the state of things. How can I as a mom help my adopted child feel like they are a part of us and yet a part of their past as well? Should I consider this at all? any advice you have would be great.----Leah
