Adoption is wonderful. I was 3 years and 6 months old when I was adopted. My birth family could not take care of me, but my adoptive parents did and gave me a wonderful childhood that I treasure dearly and now I finished my degree last year and have a great job 🧡 I hope you raise him and he aware of his Korean culture/language as well when he grows up. He will feel an identity crisis if he is completely deprived of it (maybe). His so adorable and God bless to your fantastic family. #사랑해요🧡🧡
TY for sharing. It's important to hear your point of view.
wonderful
Yesss. His origin is important for him. That's the permanent ID for him.
Dear Parents of Ari, Thank you for sharing this. I was adopted in 1980 from South Korea, I was fortunate to have good parents who loved us. But be aware, his teen age years will be tough and he may find himself wondering why he is so different from everyone. I questioned, felt lost and felt lonely at times. This is the time where he needs to feel he belongs. He will find himself one day asking more about Korea and who his real parents are...I cannot explain it...for some adoptees...this is a question they require answers. I live in Florida now...I found my love and my happiness here. Wish you all the best. If you ever have questions or just need a listening ear, I think I can bring you some insight into what to expect, its just my humble experience, nothing more. Sincerely, Joel.
Thank you for sharing! We know as our boys begin to understand more they will have lots of hard questions. Adoption is brought on by loss which is so hard. We love hearing from other adoptees about their experience. We also live in FL. I hope to bring our boys back to Korea often. Thank you for reaching out!
TY for sharing that important message
You should visit korea often so he wont forget his own kulture! My parents did that too and i am thankful
ce collie I think their little boy deserves to see where he was born!
Your culture is american
Yes! Adoption doesn't mean forgetting the roots but blending them!

신의 축복이 있기를...!!!
I am a Korean who lives in Canada. You guys are an amazing family. I feel bad that my country had to give up our future. But on the other hand, I also feel happy that this little angel got your lovely family. I hope he grows up with love and happiness. Thank you.
Hi, I am a 40 year old Korean adoptee. I have a very loving family, but for some reason this video triggered tears of grief. Adoption is extremely complex and there is a huge range of emotions. I grew up in predominately rural white communities and went to white schools. Had my fair share of bullying and micro aggressions my entire life. I sincerely hope the best for you all but, if you don't already, please consider living in ethnically diverse communities and attending diverse schools. When I was growing up in the 80s, my parents adopted the "love is enough" philosophy. I did not feel comfortable bringing up subjects of race with them bc it "wasnt supposed to matter". Even my brother who is also a KAD and I never talked about our adoption until just in the past year or so. There is a large amount of grief through adoption that I think needs and should be talked about more. Have you read, The Primal Wound? I now have two biological kids of my own and have a much different and broader lens on the issue of adoption than ever before. Wishing you the best.
Thank you for sharing your story.. I am also a Korean adopte . I was 10 year's old . I was adopted to very loving white American family . . I was also surrounded by all rual white communities and school to.. I was treated out caste and bullied alot.. now I'm 42 and happily married to a beautiful amazing white husband and with 3 beautiful amazing babies . . Rot bake CZcams channels 💟 6052514990
I grew up in an suburb of Baltimore, but still wasn't diverse enough. White / Black with a very very very small amount of Asians. Literally less than 10 growing up in the town of 15,000ish. JFC, we all have identity issues, lol.
Just saw my Mom a week ago for my Dad's funeral. I scolded her for not forcing me to learn Korean (in a playful way). It really would have opened up a lot of doors for me when I became an adult.
(Weirdly, I get a good sense about this couple. They have good energy and seem like the type of parents that will be open + want to learn what's best for their adoptive kid's. Disclaimer: I used to volunteer once a year for adoptive parents and kids to share my experience. There are a lot of young couples that were concerned about the identity problem their kids will face. Much easier these days with more resources available. The next wave of kids are from China though. Hopefully, they will mirror some of the support groups that Koreans have setup domestically and internationally.)
I hope you have peace in your heart.
@Swamp Ophelia if the children stay in the orphanages, they age out at 14 (at least in CHINA they age out at 14 yr), then what? This is much better. Not many get adopted in their own countries so those children have no one if these parents don't adopt. If tells us in the Bible to take care of orphans and the widows.
Thus is exactly the kind of insensitive comment adapteres dont need and or want to hear!
I support you in every way. Pls raise him well. From Seoul, Korea.
OMG... I really toched your kindness. As a Korean I ashamed bc adoption is still not good social recognized In Korea. so many people abandoned their baby for some reasons. Now Korea is lowest birth rate in the world. We need to change of recognizing. Thank u so much. May ur day shine bright. Ari will be good person bc he has such a good parents like u.
@@RA-gw7lk What? It's true. Adopted kids get messed with in Korea so they try to hide it. Korea's birthrate being super low is true, too.
@@RA-gw7lk The birthrate is very low. It's because of the hyper competitive environment has created huge costs per child. You have to be very wealthy to have more than 2 kids or even more than 1.
@@RA-gw7lk 저 한국인 맞아요. 제가 왜 거짓말하겠습니까? I am Korean why do u think i am lying??
@@RA-gw7lk Rebecca even single Patents get a lot of stigma there..and are on the low side of society. The society is different than you might now
@@SG-mm4wq iam not korean but also know some.aspects of korean society so dont feel this troll
there is a special place in heaven for people who adopt children and love them. god bless you in all kinds of beautiful ways.
Brought back lots of memories being adopted. I was adopted in 1970 through Holt International. My parents came to Korea in 1969 and saw them first time. I waited a whole year to see them again and they came took me back to Okinawa first because my dad was stationed in Okinawa. When dad retired in 1972 we went back to Maryland and grew up there. Thank you for sharing your video of adoption.
Maryland is my home state. TY for sharing a bit of your journey. Would love to see a video from your perspective
I am a Korean American. Thank you very much for your wonderful heart adopting Ari into your family. God bless you all.
My heart is on the foster parents
We have family friends who fostered a little girl. It was so sad to see them after the little girl was taken.
Cried so much! So happy to see him happy
What a BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. Three gorgeous children and equally amazing parents. Congratulations and God bless your family.
I'm only 16, but I've always been in love with the power of adoption. I think it's one of the most beautiful gestures in the world, it's incredible and I really want it for my life. You are incredible and inspiring. Thank you so much for the beautiful gesture and for sharing it with us.💞
Im crying emotionally. This is an happy moment for all orphans. Their life changes after being adopted
Gorgeous child. Bless him through
his precious life. Love from
Switzerland.
Thank you friend!🤗❤
Oh, that laugh! Ari is so cute and adorable! Congratulations! This came up as a CZcams recommendation, and I’m so glad it did! We have 6 adopted kiddos, 2 from Korea, and we just posted a “remembering gotcha day” video last night for our oldest daughter, Hannah, who is also from Korea. That’s probably why your video was recommended! Are you in Central Florida?
Too cool!!! We have watched your videos. We are in St. Augustine just south of Jacksonville FL. ❤️🇰🇷
Awesome, Karen and I met on Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach area, and I grew up in Orlando, my family is still there. We still have some sand in our shoes, lol! Nothing like those flat beaches on the Central and North Florida coast, grew up driving on the beaches there! I'm glad we found your family! We live in Northern Virginia now, outside Washington DC. Love to you all!
@@all4loveand_love4all you are welcome 😍😘😘
Congratulations and God bless you for loving these babies home!!My niece is waiting for that life changing call & we can't wait. Adoption is so special and not for everyone but what a gift to those God chooses!!

I watch one family's adoption journey and now my recommendations are full of these lol I'm not mad at it. This was cute and I hope your family is very happy.
My nephew and wife just picked up their baby girl after 10 yrs & 2 adoptions where parents changed their mind after birth. Baby had to have some surgery but we are all so happy and love her so much, she is doing great, and is spoiled. Adoption is so beautiful, wonderful, and can be challenging...but the rewards for all- too great for words. God bless your family!
0:52 Sea of Japan(=also known as '''East sea''', as a Korean I couldn't resist pointing that out;-) )
Surely this is one of the most beautiful things that I've seen for a long time. 3:30 Honestly I was in tears while watching this... Stunning, blissful family. God bless your family & hope the child will bring you guys tremendous happiness 🧡
The boy is simply adorable. So cute.
God bless you all!
This is so cutee! This is my favorite channel rn. I’m only 17, but adoption is already something I know in my heart that I want to do when I get older. I cant wait to meet my son/daughter!
Wonderful. So many need you but you will find your special baby. Good luck
Me too. I'm 20,but I'm positive I wanna adopt
I share your last name - we are in NE USA
Once he grow up, he will be appreciated that he has such of wonderful parents and family. Thank you for the clip and bless you and your family.
It is not a guarantee. But do it anyway. The world needs a great Mom and Dad to bring up the future.
This popped up on my recommendations today, this is beautiful. Just catching up on the rest of the videos now. Don't stop posting, beautiful family and looking forward to more. Love from the UK 🇬🇧 xx
This made me tear up!!!! He is so cuuuute!!!! I went from sad tears to smiling when I saw him laughing and playing with his new dad.

seeing as my parentss said i was really happy to leave the orphanage i never even thought about how hard it must be for kids to leave a foster family that has been, taking care of only you and giving you love and attention.
to then be pulled away from that again must have been hard, but it seems he's with a loving family again
Hi I just want to say thank you for adopting Ari as a Korean we appreciate you guys 👍🙏❤️
That's very kind. We are so very thankful and blessed by all our children ❤️🤗
ADORABLE. Here's 100 of my likes plus 1 cuz I can only thumb up once. Have a great childhood Ari!
