Any adoptee married to another adoptee?

Are there any adult adoptee out there that has married another adoptee?

How has that been? Are there any issues that have come up that are unique to your particular adoptee-heritage?

Re: Any adoptee married to another adoptee?

I am not married, nor have I ever dated another adoptee, but I often think about it.  One thing that came up in my mind is hypothetically if I marry a adopted Korean girl (I'm a Korean adoptee as well) and we have children, then there may be heritage issues with the next generation.  My children would be full-blooded, non-adopted Koreans, yet pretty much have no more Korean culture than I do.  As an adoptee, it is easy to tell people I'm adopted, for them to understand the lack of Korean culture, yet I wonder how life would be for my children.  Just food for thought.

Re: Any adoptee married to another adoptee?

Hrmmm volante86 - very interesting question! I've thought about what my Korean heritage means to my son, who is a halfie! I have tried to incorporate as much culture as I know, including the traditional first birthday ritual of picking his destiny...

I know what you mean too - about being able to swiftly explain to people why we aren't as Korean as they'd expect... but for a full blooded Korean/but kinda not korean child.... it would be completely different!


Everything happens for a reason...
