Korean Adoption Story - Episode 1 - Meeting Our Son For The First Time During Covid-19 Crisis 미국 입양

[@RoXxIE2244]

I love that you are korean and you can share culture and speak to him is his natal language and also engage with the foster mom I think that is a huge plus that will help levi get adjusted! Congratulations!

[@koreanfamilyadventures8140]

Yes, and we will continue to teach him Korean at home so one day when he meets his birth family he can communicate and build relationship with them without a translator

[@Super_Grover_]

Korean Family Adventures as a birthmother myself, I think it is so beautiful that you are nurturing and encouraging Levi’s future reunion with his birthfamily ❤️ that is so healthy for adoptees to have such loving, understanding, and open minded parents like you are! I’m so happy I found your channel. You have the most beautiful family that is a bright light during an especially difficult time of the pandemic. Thank you! 💗

How wonderful it must have been to know how to speak Korean and communicate with Levi. I'm sure it made the transition a little less scary for him. He's a beautiful boy. Congratulations and may God continue to bless your precious family.

As a Korean adoptee, I can't tell you how happy it makes me see he'll be with a Korean family! I lived in an orphanage until I was about four years old and have some memories as a child so it struck me when the little girl in the orphanage said you were lucky you have a mom since I knew I was missing family at a young age and I believe every child deserve a good home and family to be with. I look forward to seeing your family grow! Thank you for sharing.

[@katluann]

It is strange what kids know so early. My adoptive daughter thought I was her mother even though she never met me because I never met her before and my hair was similar to her mother. She was my husbands daughter and his Mom basically stole her from her son because she wanted a daughter but when I came no amount of scheming from my new mother in law worked because I had two kids her age and she would refuse to go to daycare. She wanted me instead then one of the workers told me for months my adoptive daughter was saying my mommy will be coming for me. I don’t have a mommy yet, I just have a MeMa and I want a mommy. She knew she wasn’t like the other kids and she was sad the workers told me. When I came my mother in law was always scheming because she wanted the baby all to herself but my daughter never skipped a beat she just latched on to me and never looked back. It’s always best if grandparents support the parents rather than try to raise their grandchildren and try to take them away etc. anyway she was three but she knew she didn’t have parents just the hope they were coming and it was very sad for her.

[@happinessfaithfulness]

This is the first time I’ve seen families adopt from the same cultural background and it makes me happy as a fellow Korean to see this story.

[@jmk1962]

Agree. So nice he can keep his original culture and language alive.

[@gulfbaby230]

When Seth said “our family will hold your hands when you sleep”, I just cried!! What precious boys they are. Levi took to both of you so easily and beautifully. I love that you realize how blessed that you are and that you want to share that blessing through adoption. I just adore your family!! ❤️

[@nonayurbeezwax]

"after she sends you, I don't know how she'll survive". This woman has a beautiful soul.

[@katelynanneg]

His foster mom is an angel! 11 kids. You can tell that little Levi was so well loved and cared for, she watched on with so much love and calmness. It was a nice, gentle situation to watch, you all did so great. And Levi is adorable!

[@jandanabae6959]

I really love your story! Pls don’t stop vlogging/blogging!

[@koreanfamilyadventures8140]

Yes, we are editing the next video right now, it just takes us a long time as we have to do it after the kids go to bed :)

[@glorisol26]

@@koreanfamilyadventures8140 thank you for all the work and effort you put into sharing your beautiful, inspiring story. I was feeling a little bit sad today, and finding your video made me happy again. ❤

It makes me happy to see that he won’t lose his culture and language 💜

[@asianangel5400]

Just found your channel. Your story is a true testimony of Christ love. I was adopted from Korea back in 1980. I was adopted through Eadtern Social Welfare Society. I was born with Albinism so I have fair skin, white hair and blue eyes. I'm legally blind so my opportunities in Korea would have been limited. I was abandoned at 6 months. My life in America has been good because of Christ . I pray your journey with Levi will be blessed and that your family will be truly happy. I pray his transition wont be too difficult.

[@tommylagan]

So pleased it worked out great for u may god guide u through life

[@cherisity]

You are beautiful and so as your heart. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@ksb9469]

"Do you know why God blesses you? God wants you to bless others....." What a testimony!

[@zelle9497]

How they described each of their sons and her back story why she wants to adopt and everything about this video made me cry idk why it just made me emotional how genuine these people sound huhuhu

[@lalithakirsnan]

This is so beautiful. I had two failed ivf treatments in the past 3 months and of course my husband and I are devastated but we have always had adoption in mind. I have been praying so much for guidance and one statement made by David convinced me. God has blessed us so much so why not share that blessings with others? This really moved me. I got the same message last night during a prayer. I am so happy for little Levi that God has blessed him with such a God loving family. May God’s peace and mercy always shine on you all. Amen

[@koreanfamilyadventures8140]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm an Acupuncturist, and I saw a lot of fertility patients before closing down my practice to be a stay at home mom. I highly recommend natural-fertility-info.com website. Did you go and see an Acupuncturist while doing the IVF treatment? Majority of IVF physicians work with Acupuncturists as it helps 40-60% success rate of the IVF treatment. Will keep you in my prayers through this difficult time.

[@scorpioo]

wow the foster mom has fostered 11 children! I cant imagine having to part with so many children that you have painstakingly cared for. Its not easy to care for a baby! how many sleepless nights this foster mom has gone through and then given the child to their future parents...

[@koreanfamilyadventures8140]

Yes, I thought about the same thing, they've got to have a supernatural heart to do what they do.

[@LittleLofiStories]

I just gotta note that your video skills and editing are on point. So well done, the documentary / interview style... very cool.

[@koreanfamilyadventures8140]

Thank you i'lll for sure relay your message to my husband who does all the editing :)

[@stephaniejones4126]

I agree! It looks professionally done. So beautiful!

[@katluann]

They do a good job but I’ll bet for this one they hired a photographer since they are together in shots but David does a good professional job putting it all together!

[@hypnotherapy69]

it's so refreshing to see people who acctually speak the language of the child that is about to be a part of your family.

[@claireridgeon4828]

Also any child that has the privilege of having you as mum and dad will be blessed cant wait to see more videos from you guys x

[@skatingcanuck9837]

Korean-Canadian here. Although I was not adopted I am fascinated by Korean adoption stories. This is the first I have seen of a foreign adoption from a Korean couple. What a wonderful story. I had know idea there was a demand for domestic adoption of girls. I have no doubt you will do a wonderful job raising Levi.

[@joarajames2881]

This is so touching, I love that you can share Korean roots with your new son as well! Lots of love and God bless xx

[@damanipage5990]

Your videos have been on my feed for a while and i finally caved in. I'm so glad you both adopted him. He can keep his language and culture! Definitely subscribing! This is so beautiful!

[@jmk1962]

What an adorable little boy. So happy for him that he is going to have two Korean parents who can help him maintain his culture and native language. I often think about this when I see Chinese or Korean children being adopted by Americans and wonder what impact that has on their esteem and sense of identity if their new parents don't even speak their native language. I know "some parents" are better than "no parents", but really this is the best case scenario for your new son Levi.

[@seoyunjang2008]

I starting to wonder if this is how my parents felt when they adopted me... speaking in his native language is such a wonderful thing for the child for sure!

[@UandMeGod]

What a sweet sweet family. I agree Levi was obviously very loved and nurtured in his foster home but also to your credit children can pick up on whether someone is a "safe" person and he must have felt that from you both right away. He is a very sweet, curious, and perceptive little boy. I also think it was super cool that you could communicate with Levi and the foster mom because you speak the same language as them.( I think you mentioned your family is originally from Korea?) That was really neat to see though because often times there is a huge language barrier and I am sure that can be stressful. I look forward to binge watching all your videos on your adoption.... Hey it's that or the Tiger King on Netflix! Hahaha! I would much rather watch a sweet families adoption story while I am quarantining at home! Thank you for sharing your families story! It touched my heart! ***Also I can't imagine having to leave him for a whole month! I am sure that was tough!

I've always been interested and fascinated with oriental culture and customs. I loved the reasoning behind y'alls adopting...God is so good. I think there are many misconceptions about adopting from Asian countries. But just recently I've seen some horrific true stories about "re-homing" Chinese adopted children it's heartbreaking!! God Bless that foster momma for all 11 babies she cared for...I can't imagine what it was like for her to see them go!!
