I am doing a forensic piece on adoption. I have been looking up thoughts on adoption. I love La Semana! I can't wait to go back this year. Thank you for making this video. Love from one Guatemalan from another.

Being an adopted person, it was hard. I thought about it all the time because the issue was always present. My mother was white. People always questioned us. I got the "look" all the time. I got used to it after a while. I had no choice. I never fit in and certain members always reminded me that I was adopted. I was never family. At least you know where you are from. You have brothers and sisters too. So you know something. I am not that lucky. I know nothing about where I come from. I don't know anything about my background. People are always asking me if I am an American. "Why don't you guys look alike?" I got that question all the time growing up. So, yes, you are lucky. Not so much for your birth mom, but the mother and father who took you in and treated you as their own. I never had that. My adopted brother and I would always wonder why we were ever adopted in the first place. My father spoke perfect Spanish, but he refused to share that gift with us. I would beg him to teach me, but he refused. I can not even say I am Latina. Many of the Spanish people rejected me because I did not speak Spanish. There is a disconnect in not knowing what I am or where I came from. One thing you and I can be thankful for is that we didn't get terminated. Because most abortions are precisely for the reason against giving up a child for adoption and knowing that child is somewhere out there. Good video and good points raised.

thank you SO much for sharing. my husband and I are seriously thinking about adoption. your story has educated me as well as confirmed things i already suspected. me and the hub honestly don't care if our future child is our race or another race, but through my recent research i am appalled at how much negativity parents receive if they adopt a child of a different race than them, which i find interesting because what if it was an interracial couple that was adopting? by that mentality, do they have to adopt two children, one for both races???? it's ridiculous! i know this video is old, but if you still check your youtube comments, and if you have time/want to, i was wondering if you could give me you thoughts on the article i will link? this woman was adopted by a white family and she was born in india. she has a very negative view of her adoption, so much so that her own daughter "feels adopted", as she said. so her own negative view of having been adopted is filtering through to her daughter. and yet nowhere in her article does she say she was neglected or abused by her adopted family. so i'm utterly confused. i don't know if it's because i'm insensitive, or if my confusion is justified. do you think you could shed light on this for me? thank you SO much if you do. but if you don't, i understand life is very very busy :) www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/chi-please-dont-tell-me-i-was-lucky-to-be-adopted-20150109-story.html

Great video, I love Sephora lotions too. I look forward to your next video. I have a channel as well if you would like to visit and subb. Happy Holidays!!!!!

Thanks for making this video. I've experienced a lot of disbelief towards my adoption story but that's because it's the opposite : I actually look similar to my mum. So people assume I'm lying and seeking attention. It hurts so much. I don't know how to react when people react like that...

Would you recommend dermals around the belly button?
