Hi.. I'm not a Taiwanese adoptee, but am considering adopting a child from China. My fears are that it would be hard for the child (as she grew up) to be removed from her culture. We have many good friends who are from China, Taiwan, and other countries and she would grow up being exposed to many other cultures. But still, our fears as to whether a child, as she grew up might resent being taken away from her home hold us back from making a decision.
If it's not too much trouble, could you give us your perspective, having been adopted from Taiwan? Were you happy growing up in the country you did, or do you wish it would have been otherwise? What advice would you give parents adopting a child of another race? How probable do you think it is for a child to grow up secure and happy under these unique circumstances?
Would love to hear from you! Thanks!
