As an adoptee, I wanted to share my thoughts on the best time to tell your child that they are adopted. Every adoption is different with different circumstances which may also change what a child may or may not already know. Follow me on Tiktok @scarlettfuyin

In my video Why Being Adopted Is NOT Great, I mentioned the savior complex and thought it would be a good idea to make a video dedicated to that since it's a big issue when it comes to adoption whether it's intentional or not.

Does Adoption Cause Trauma? (Adoptee Experience) | Scarlett 福茵
So sorry your grandmother had that bad experience here, I live here and always warn my children over and over to be aware when visiting London. Anyway glad that the rest of your holiday was good.
The funny part is that our great uncle warned my sister and I about pickpockets, but not them. Thankfully we were all still able to have a good time sightseeing.
You didn't have a toy or food? Just sit and laugh at her while you worry more about pictures.
You certainly packed in the live performances!
We sure did 😁
Omg I think it would be better for baby if there wasn’t so much noise!
This is so good thank you so much for recommending these!! 💙💙
You're so welcome! Glad you like them.
What a sweet story on adoption. I do not believe there were books out like that in the 80’s.
You are a great book reviewer! My favorite was Guiji Guiji but seeing them all again made me happy ❤
Very true!!
Saw the video of your parents getting you. Is so lovely to see you grown up.
So cute…
Poor baby , give her a bottle or toy.. this is so sad ..
It's a lot of kids it'll appear as a lie of omission and their idea of trust will be permanently scarred for future relations because if they can't entirely trust mom and dad then they can't trust anyone
Thanks - brevity is the soul of wit. PS I really like the thank you card at the end of your videos.
Glad you liked it.
Okay maybe you know like the black kid lives with a white family I'm sure they'll find out but to let the child know that they are not apart you are not blood is the only thing they will focus on except the part that they are loved and wanted so how about you tell them when they're older I can comprehend and not only see that they're adopted
Yeah, you would definitely need to tell them in an age appropriate way that they will be able to understand. Telling a child about their adoption shouldn’t all be done in one discussion either. It should be an ongoing conversation as they grow up, with new information being added. It may even continue for their whole lives. Not all adoptees really care about knowing a whole lot about their adoptions either, so it varies depending on the person.
I totally agree.
This is sooo true. My baby sister has been in our life since she was 3 months old. My parents decided not to tell her that she was adopted. At age 13 she overheard some family members talking, and she came to me. She cried on my shoulder for hours, felt so betrayed, and that everything she ever knew was a lie. It broke my heart because she was my baby. i am 11 yrs older than her, so i basically raised her. I think it's very important to tell kids that they are adopted and not hide it from them. ❤❤❤
Oh no. Finding out as a teen as well must have been very difficult since being a teenager is challenging for everyone. I’m so glad she had you to support her.
@ScarlettFuyin we are still very close and we are still consider each other real sisters. She will always be my babygirl no matter what. It's heartbreaking for someone to go through that and it broke my heart because it hurt her soo much.
I agree absolutely with you, it's not an easy situation to deal with but it has to be done as early as possible. My aunt adopted a child at only a few months old and he was told before the age of 3 and all for the better.
You’re a gem💎
Baby Scarlet didn’t want I kiss and the mother was forcing her even though she was crying and upset . The dogs seemed a tad aggressive to the baby . At the beach the father was forcing Scarlet to kiss. What is wrong with these people! Scarlet was clearly annoyed with them the way she was babbling.. Lol! Scarlet didn’t seem happy at all. There were no smiles or giggles She’s with strangers , yanked from her home, in unfamiliar surroundings . She needs gentleness , and softness , lots of love and lots of patience . In her own time she’ll warm to people . Instead they treat her like a performing monkey .
Enjoy your vacation!!
Thank you, I will
Tell anyone who asks...none of your business
You’re lucky but I’m luckier because you’re a gem 💎
🥰
I hope you find the missing pieces to your puzzle Scarlett, but whatever the outcome you have a forever family who absolutely adore you and will always support you whatever the circumstances. Good luck
Thank you☺️
Chinese people rarely do DNA testing, so you can't find any matching information.
Yeah. That’s one of the reasons I’m likely not going to get answers. I would likely find relatives who were also adopted and also don’t know anything. So far distant cousins
The phenomenon of abandoned babies is not only caused by China's one-child policy, but also by human traffickers, who will abandon stolen babies instead of returning them if they find that they are girls, especially in rural areas of China.
Trying to rationalise or understand the unknown can be confronting but can also be a powerful means of driving you forward in terms of both exploring and thinking about what might have happened and for life in general. Hope you find more of what you are looking for and the exploration journey is useful in its self. Best of fortune.....
Thanks
😁
Beautiful baby girl gorgeous
Thanks for sharing. I'd like to hear your parents journey to adopting you 😊
Thank you for sharing this. 🦋 Amazed that you're leaving the comment section open. Most people are terrific and mean well. It's just the... Karens who troll who are stunning... oops. 😂❤ Sorry to be critical of them, but at least I avoided colorful adjectives.
😢sad for you Scarlett that you were abandoned but so glad for your happy ending!
Thankful is a start.
Pacifier.
Good grief!!!! so much confusuion it is a wonder parents got right baby if they did?????😩😫☹
The parents all received a photo of their baby before going to China, so they knew what they would look like as well as the babies name which was called, but yeah, definitely very loud and chaotic.
God bless you.
It sounds like whatever difficulties Your first family had, they wanted you to be found and saved. That’s love too.
I’m so happy to see this! I watched your Gacha day on CZcams and I’ve always had mixed feelings about children being the focus of any upload, ever since CZcams starred monetizing. Pardon the misspellings, I’m using voice to text
I'm so glad!
The baby distribution system could use a little work. I hope since this day, they’ve developed a way to give the parents their children without so much cacophony. When we know better, we do better. Even and Aunt is young as a year old can feel the change in separation of all that they’ve known and unfortunately, that is an element of adoption. Making the process as gentle as possible can help. What a beautiful family. I hope that Scarlett has grown happy and healthy with you.
In recent Chinese adoption videos I’ve seen the families are put in separate rooms. Thanks, I’m going great.
Thanks for doing this really interesting video, material like this is rarely seen.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You finally shot a longer videoThe one-child policy has a huge impact on rural China. In the era before agricultural mechanization, there were no cows to plow the land, and the family relied on boys. This was a helpless thing.
One of the few longer videos on my channel lol
Your families journey would be very interesting - fascinated by this topic ever since watching "Meet me on the Bridge". But would not want to make anyone uncomfortable.
I’ve love you videos of gotcha days. Beautiful baby and so cute! Heartbreaking at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Adoption is a precious thing and yes it can be scary for the babies kids and their adoptive families.. please try to comfort the children before worrying about pictures it's the best thing to do and you won't have guilt when you think back to that initial meeting. I love Oriental babies they are the cutest babies ever and those who get to adopt are filling the most important voids.. love family and a sense of belonging. May God bless all families who do this so unselfishly and love those children truly ❤
You live in a happy family.
Precious mementoes.
Have been following you since your adoption and love watching your videos, so glad you have grown up into such a lovely person who appreciates all that has been done for you since your birth.
like a zoo, loud and frightening, poor baby
Do you have any idea what your care was like before this moment? Were you in an orphanage or a foster home? I'm wondering because babies often cry like this because they are already bonded with a care giver. So for them, this this isn't just tears because of strangers, but tears because they are taken from the only mother they know. It's a very painful comparison but it's like a kidnapping from the babies perspective, even though it isn't of course. I hear it's actually a good thing when they cry though because it means the child has the ability to form attachments. And you obviously were! Thank you for sharing :) I'm glad you are doing so well today
I think I was in an orphanage. There were probably several reasons I was crying (some other babies were also crying) including being separated from what was familiar to us.
I'm very happy to know that the trauma you experienced as a baby didnt stay with you throughout your life. At least not in obvious ways. I know some experience rads and other difficulties because of the early trauma
You didn't show the attached bathroom?
