VICE News I think the one person that needs to get deported ASAP is the founder of VICE news. A Canadian Communist who constantly is putting out misleading anti-American propagandist news pieces to indoctrinate their mostly young American audiences. Indoctrinating them into hating their own country. All the while Shane makes millions of dollars from his hate mongering. This hypocrite owes all his fame and fortune to the U.S.A. Particularly American Capitalism.
Vice, was violence foreign to his victims, or are you asserting that they welcomed the domestic violence? They should have kept calm, with no reason to be alarmed, because it's just part and parcel of being anywhere near him? They should have been "used" to it, so it's no longer foreign? Were his weapons charges for guns that he was going to use on foreigners, or just for use against close friends and adopted family? Would a foreign object made of lead be assimilated well by human flesh and bone? Do you know of anyone willing to demonstrate the concept of "foreign" using any of the examples above? Were his assaults foreign to his victims, or just the way he's used to greeting people? Vice, your hypocrisy is completely foreign to the first thought for his victims. "Undocumented" is the LEAST of HIS problems. HIS....as in created by, propagated and executed by, continued and repeated by HIM, least of all which is doing ALL this shit, and STILL expect his background would be ignored. We should worry for South Korea, and this guy's future "foreign" victims.
"Your shitty adoptive parents didn't file some paperwork you couldn't have possibly had any control of because you were so young?!? Too bad. So sad. Get fucked. Don't let the Statute of Liberty kick your ass on the way out." 😪
I looked this guy up and his story is heartbreaking. He was abandoned and beaten as a child. Arrested as a teen for breaking into his abusive family’s home for trying to retrieve some belongings. As an adult he turns his life around and opens a business. Tries to apply for a green card after finding out his papers are forged. Gets deported because requesting a green card triggered a background check. He was trying to do the right thing and they punished him for it.
Grass maybe I missed it but I didn’t catch them talking about his burglary charge stemming from trying to take back his own belongings. I read that part after looking him up online. www.law.ox.ac.uk/research-subject-groups/centre-criminology/centreborder-criminologies/blog/2019/02/adopted-and
Yea I feel like adoptees should have a right to get a green card if there’s something wrong with their legal forms. However, an adult illegal getting deported for doing this is right.
So, when he was 3 and didn't know english it was up to him to know what immigration paperwork to submit? The first family who adopted him and gave him up 6 years later or the organization who facilitated his adoption should have done the paperwork properly. He was shuffled around and ABUSED. How was it his fault shity adults didn't submit the proper paperwork when he was 3? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CASES AREN'T LOOKED INTO. And we treat everyone like trash wholesale. This is not right! Also, why would he have had any inclination that the paperwork wasn't done properly? I think we all assume adopted or not that the adults in our early lives filed all necessary paperwork for us correctly. Examples being brith certificate, social security numbers, custody paperwork, etc... When you were 3 did you know to ask your parents if they had filled all your crucial paperwork correctly?
But if he had citizenship, he would not have been deported. The adoption process screwed up. There has to be some leeway in situations like this? Doesn't the US have an immigrations appeal process?
Sad that the abusers (Thomas Francis Crapser and his wife, Dolly-jean crapser) only served 90 days each after pleading guilty to 12 counts of horrific abuse to 8 of their adopted children, but adam got 25 months for non-violent burglary? This child literally had his life turned upside down and had to rely and strangers to protect him when all they did was cause a lifetime of scars...I feel bad for all the adopted children that have to face the horrors of abusive adults. I hope each and every one of them are able to find peace and I hope those "parents" get what's coming to them because the justice system has really failed to protect these innocent kids from unsuitable homes.
And the fact that virtually no media outlet except for Vice News is reporting on this...Meanwhile celebrities who has had everything go their way their entire life are able to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars on gofundme just because they lost their pet, and they make more money a day just showing photos on the internet than Adam has made his entire life. Completely despicable. The entire US government needs to be rebuilt from the ground up, following a technocratic and egalitarian framework. Death to the socialite class.

@@kurikuraconkuritas jesus christ maybe ur the one who can't fucking hear, maybe watch the video before commenting. The judges were not allowed to intervene until he get's deported, that's how that law works 😲
Deporting this man, makes no sense, it serves no purpose to him, his kids, wife and ultimately to Korea, he's a foreigner in his own country. He was adopted by a US family and then dropped like a new born poppy to the shelter, that's not right, on top of that he was abused, what kinda country is this that deports someone for missing a government form and having gone through so much. Give the guy a break!
Rene Robyn Just because you have a wet dream about moving to South Korea, it doesn't mean it applies to everyone else. You talk about his situation, as though he is refusing a free trip to Disneyland.
Rene Robyn he fucking offed himself because he was just placed in korea with no money or the language skills to hold a job. His wife and kid is in the US. He was trying for 3 years to get back. He was brought here, abused thrown out.
Rene Robyn Yeah he broke the law originally to recover the possessions stolen from him by the rapist abusers that adopted him, after getting locked up his life spiraled out of control. The system failed him, he never had a damn chance and if you think he did perhaps you should be deported to another country you have never been to and have no business being shipped off to.
Good he was lucky to stay for 37 years I dont understand if he broke the law for this long we should let it go? No he should be thankful for staying this long
Hey Robert... Aside from the fact you did mention... "On top of the fact the he's undocumented... No fault of his own, he committed a lot of crimes. " I could go on to basically quote your entire post, but that would be redundant. DUDE... The guy was "adopted" and literally "taken" from South Korea to the good ole US of A at the age of like two against his will by an "American" family.... Now think about this... I mean this sincerely and put YOURSELF in his shoes while I drop this angle to examine this guys situation for a minute..... At two when he was adopted by this American family and then they put him in foster care, do you really think it's his fault as a minor he didn't fill out the "proper" immigration documents while he was a kid? Why is the onus on him? Even as an adult? Common sense would reason that the family that adopted him, regardless they put him in foster care, have to take the hit for not filling out his "immigration status" in America after they literally "adopted" the small child and took him here to the states. It's not like he crossed the southern border illegally through Mexico. He literally was taken against his will and knowledge, hence he was like 2 or 3 yrs old and it's his fault the US government would make a 2-3 year old exempt from these immigration laws considering he "crossed the border" legally since he was "legally" adopted by US citizens and he was too young to make decisions for himself CLEARLY. The onus should be on the "original" US family that adopted him and removed him from his native country. That's crazy talk if you think his situation is his fault. Why don't you go move to Peru or India since you say... "I'm sure it's not so bad in South Korea. He probably loves it now." The dude is American and not Korean. He doesn't even speak Korean. Read what you said and my reply and really put yourself in his shoes. I'm not mad at you, but think your logic is twisted regardless of the written law considering every detail about this unique case is and it's not a normal case. You seriously sound spineless. The guy is American. The family that adopted him should be the ones in trouble and not this poor guy (i.e. he was abused by them as a small kid and it's his fault per written law). You got ZERO empathy and soul man.
This is heartbreaking. He should sue for being adopted into a family that dumped him like an unwanted pet. He should sue for being placed in an abusive home. He should never have gone to prison for retrieving his own possessions. It's not right what has happened to him and so many others.
@genespell4340 I'm sorry to know that. I didn't know anything about his full story. I hope the system has changed and adoptive parents are now better vetted.
“6 years later his adoptive parents decided they didn’t want him anymore”... How the hell is that legal? Adoption shouldn’t be something that can be revoked outside of maybe extreme circumstances and if you’re not capable of supporting a child you shouldn’t be able to adopt.
The american dream baby, they treat children like commodities, there's not that much protection because adoption is a market, and you better not put some regulations on the holy free market. In many europeans countries, none of that would've happened. USA is a rich country trying so hard to a third-world one.
It's better revoking an adopted child than forcing people who are able to abandone a kid to care about him or her without any oversight. There would be only constant abuse and total mistreatment.
I agree, but as an adoptee, no child should live with caregivers that dont want them. That's a recipe for neglect and abuse. So sad that's what ended up happening to him
Guess you owe him all his taxes and such back then. He’s been paying a system he shouldn’t have so fair is fair. Give him back every penny he ever gave to the USA.
You bring in a child against his will , you torture him for majority of his life and when he had something to lose you deport him and Seperate him from his family. America is truly an ambassador of human rights
So just because someone did not fill some form 40 years ago, this guy gets deported and his kids end up with a virtual Dad?????? Please help me understand how that makes sense.. ..
@@azarinevil Lack of empathy is one of the worst mental illnesses the United States suffers from and there seems to be no reflection or treatment coming anytime soon.
@@bullmoosemedia Well sad fact is it isn't just America. 1 out of every 20 people has an ASPD, as in sociopaths and psychopaths. Wrap your head around that reality..
I'm a US Soldier, and I dont fight for this kind of treatment. Once you take a child out of his natural inviroment and force it to adapt to a new inviroment, you should take ownership of that child. It can never go back because it won't be accepted nor will it survive. My heart bleeds for this young man, I am so sorry for what you are going through. America does not represent this.....
The government when in family court applies the law you describe. But when it isnt convenient for the country. They do the opposite. But it gives losers a job in government destroying families .
The government creates criminals to keep themselves busy . Overpaying agents even though the debt is high .who cares 21 trillion dollars debt .the homeland security is more of a public charge than a welfare recipient. Willing to prove this in a jury trial. The government spys on all of us . I dont really care . Unconstitutional laws need to battle tested in court with a great lawyer
@Martha Arteaga You know when your a victim of abuse your like angry and want to fight for justice . I'm tired of people who say we are a nation of laws . Many of these laws are unconstitutional and the founding fathers are willing to be resurrected to start the revolution that they said should happen in 250 years . Government gone wild . Because I don't see people who understand how wrong things are in the country. Other countries aren't much better .
In 2019 Adam filed a lawsuit against the South Korean government and the adoption agency for sending hundreds of children to the US and never accounting for their citizenship status, or their well-being calling it gross negligence. I hope Adam gets his justice.
If you google his name and click the "Batara Immigration Law" page, you'll see that he has met his birth mother, who gave him up because she was single, poor, and disabled. The two meet up every few months, but have difficulty communicating, as he speaks very little Korean (presumably only what he has learned since being deported) and she speaks no English
@Keith1974 The system failed him in every way possible, gave him years of trauma, and then you wonder why he didn't know how to handle that trauma and got in trouble with the law? And ontop of that, the US has been deporting people over technicalities for years regardless of whether they break the law or not, some of them even after they served in the military.
They were clueless farmers, just wanted to adopt children and use them as farmhands. When the child(ren) become rebellious, they didn't want the child(ren) anymore. I hope all potential adopters learn from the mistake this man's FIRST adoptive parents made. I hope this man gets to be with his family soon.
I'm just now seeing this. Adam was my roommate in Salem and best friend for years. He is even my motivation to become a licensed barber. It's so sad that this happened to him. Being separated from his wife, kids, friends and everything he knows. He's been through so much, even at the hands of his adopted family. Brought to a place that he didn't know and didn't speak the language. The Crapsers are truly evil people. I knew this entire story, yet seeing this (Especially when he was in ICE detention center about to cry himself) seriously made me cry. Adam, I love you, bro! I pray for you regularly.
Ana Sanchez, what you propose for the congress to remake the law? The issue is he rake a few felonies in the past. It is unfortunate but if you want to change the law for all so he can be legal with felonies, can't you see what total catastrophic damage it may introduce to the states?
best friends for years but answer on social media LOL. I call my best friends even from the past and help them not just sit there and pray. I sure hop you reach out in REAL LIFE and help, prayer dose NOTHING.
Those possessions are the last thing an adoptee child has as “a sense of belonging” which psychologically speaking is a on maslow’s hierarchy of basic human needs.
Well to the government it was just a piece of paper with some dudes name on it saying he was an undocumented immigrant. This is the parents fault, not the governments.
@@amossutandi he shouldn't be punished for the mistakes of his abusive "parents". If he's lived most of his life here, then he's more culturally American than Korean
This is so unfair, he was brought trough an adoption not as an illegal immigrant. How can someone return a kid as if it was defective object. Wish him the best outcome.
I have a theory that people not protected by the US (or UK) laws, are not considered people until it doesn't serve obvious political, social, economical purpose. Thus, a little thin-eyed kid is seen as something a little more than a pet/toy or smth.
Gov. Agents are Corrupt.. 6 yrs not matter.. He was w/a family who Loved him.. Gov. sent him to Brutal Butterfly Collectors, who beat him w/a 2 by 4 & burned him w/ cigarettes. US, Gov. Failed him.. & Some US Veterans are treated the same way. You have to Love Self, Protect Life, Breathe Happy.. Peace..!!!
All immigration rules cannot be used against this man for that he is not an immigrant. He didn't migrate to the US, he was brought to the US. It's not like Adam forged his visa or crossed the border illegally. He was brought to the states, probably against his will, and then got thrown from one foster family to another and dumped. Almost 40 years later, the time where he finally had a loving family and a stable home, America kicked him out and again against his will. It's almost like the adopters brought him to ruin his life, and when he got close to ''the American Dream'' the US decided to ruin Adam's life more.
This. Immigration laws shouldn't be enforceable to him. Though having a Korean passport (or any other country for that matter) probably nullified that :/
Great music, I love jazz, great landscapes and national parks, great cultural diversity, great museums,... This is what I personally like about the US.
that crappy logic doesnt even make sense. so illegals can just bring their kids into America & the kids are all instantly citizens, right? what freakin planet are you from?
In addition to my sincere prayers, what are some other movements that need to happen to get this situation and other issues similar resolved What do we do? How can I help?🤔
When I saw that couple adopt 8 kids… I thought right away they’re doing this for money or something else. It’s heartbreaking because I know there’s many many good American families who would have loved him and raised him well. What a bad hand he was dealt… it’s going to be hard for him to integrate into Korean society but I hope he can do it for his family.
it's sickening...people abuse and abuse with no consequences, he goes in, gets his stuff and has to deal with consequences that , again...are sickening 😤😢
I can't believe he got 2 years of prison for taking back what belonged to him. That's ridiculous . 2 years for a Korean bible and q pair of shoes, if he was a thief he would've took more than that. That family abused him both physically and mentally, he did nothing wrong. He was just claiming a part of himself. Compared to what they did to him, he didn't deserve jail time. This system is so fucked I swear. I can't even. Love you Adam, hope it'll get better for you.
Nothing says I'm tougher then asking someone in the youtube comment section to "fight me in real life"... It screams pathetic mess.. sorry bruh.. you are the weakest link
2 years for picking up his stuff. Man that’s insane. They don’t even give rapists or even a guy who was drunk driving and crashed head on to a police vehicle 2 years prison time
I agree! My ex-boyfriend beat me up, was caught with heroin and meth, and got out on bail. While out on bail, he was caught at a known drug house. He again had meth and heroin, baggies and a scale, which is possession with intent to distribute. He got less than three years and got released today. He should have received over 25 years according to the law, but the prosecutor gave him this unbelievable plea deal. Smh
@@YvetteArby Nobody should be locked up for 25 years on drug charges. However, if he assaulted you unprovoked, then he should have been dealt with for that.
This should not have happened. I think foreign adoptions deserve the same oversight as domestic ones. He should NOT be deported because he didn't lie, he didn't NOT file the paperwork. He was brought here by an American, he was adopted by an American, he was systematically abused and abandoned by an American. He doesn't deserve this
@jamal the 3rd no I didn't. That doesn't change the fact that as a child, through no choice of his making, he was brought to this country and raised as an American, fully assimilated to his parent's culture and country. The fact that THEY didn't sign the right papers when he was a child isn't his fault and I just think his citizenship should have been automatic when he was adopted. Sending him to a country he doesn't know, doesn't understand, has no connection to, basically destroying his life is cruel and unusual punishment. If he had been an intentional illegal immigrant, it would have been justified but he didn't even know.
@jamal the 3rd He was punished for those crimes. How many times do you want to punish people? And the fact that he was abused by his so called parents when he should have been protected is not his fault, but the fault of the authorities. And if America allowed these adoptions from South Korea, then the Authorities should have done the paper work as soon as he arrived and granted him his citizen ship. And why could he not have stayed with the Foster Mother, the second person? And the fact that children growing up in an abusive household will generally act the same as adults. And everyone deserves a second chance, or do you think, once a felon they should be treated like crap for the rest of their lives?
@jamal the 3rd he had no reason to check it. Why would he since he was raised here and his parents never made him aware that they hadn't signed the papers? I don't think most people who are adopted from another country would even think to check their immigration status, they would probably think that if they're adopted by a US citizen, it makes them US citizens just like their biological children would be. His citizenship was never in question until he got arrested. I just think deporting him to a country he knows nothing about is excessive
He should sue the United States. He was taken from his country by people who were out to benefit them selfs. Then they dumped him. He ended up in a horrible situation. Being abused, this would be looked at today as human trafficking of a child. The government allowed this to happen to him by taking no oversight of what happens to these children once they got here. This is a crime committed by the USA. Not the child, not only should they give him his citizenship they should compensate him for the horrible treatment he has lived through. The government allow him to be taken from his home country. He didn’t come hear by his own accord.
Its amazing how in this country you can get married to someone for papers almost unquestioned, but kids who u adopt and become part of your family can be taken from you
legal system does not like special cases that's why many innocent people have to wait years to get out of jail after being found innocent and somethings they don't have their felon status revoked, fucking dumb huh. pisses me off.
@@amapparatistkwabena what that have to do with this ? no matter how Koreans act towards Africans or brown ppl as U said these kids don't deserve this treatment put urself in their shoes would you be ok feeling unwanted Ur entire existence .ppl giving up on you every time U feel you have been accepted by someone .
앤서니 야 Just because bad things happen in Korea doesn’t make this mercy it’s still a shitty thing to do and how Africans and darker Asians are treated has no correlation to the video
What I don't understand is why someone has to go through this just because "that's the way it is". Once he's able to prove that he is now a working man, capable and stable; who's lived his entire life in the US and has a family who depends on him, wouldn't it be reasonable to let him stay? This shit is even documented now, as we've just watched. All that is missing is a fucking piece of paper saying he's american. Fucked up shit indeed.
He's had all these years... since he was 18 to fix the problem. Why willingly break a federal law? That's what he did. At any moment he could have fixed it, but, he waited far, far to long. You know, as an adult you are supposed to be self-Responsible.... it's a choice and he just ignored his responsibility. No one's fault but his own. Each Human born has a difficult life... are you going to wallow in victimhood or take responsibility for your life. Don't wait until it is to late.
Marcy Carson so it’s his fault his adopted parents decided to be negligent and not finish off the paper for the infant they chose to bring to America. He did not decide to be here
He could have changed his situation long before he was told to leave. He knew there was a problem long before he turned 18. Each of us is responsible for our own lives. No, he did not choose to be here. Though, if he'd remained in Korea it was very possible that he wouldn't be alive at all. He should count his blessings. Yes, his adopted parents had the responsibility to take care of the paperwork. Because this wasn't done, it sounds like something screwy was going on, this sort of thing doesn't happen without reason. He didn't do it until he was pushing middle age. That's to bad, he broke the law and ignored it until it was far to late. It's not your fault, it is not mine, the responsibility for his life and the choices he made.....are entirely his. Sounds like you feel strongly about this subject. You should contact him and see what you can do to help his cause. Maybe you can find out why he was adopted by a USA family without the proper paperwork from Korea or the USA. .
He was a victim of his adoptive families neglect. If there was a true justice system, the initial adoptive paperwork would have been filed and he would have become a US citizen. Insult was added to injustice when he was convicted of a crime for trying to get his only belongings from an abusive family. For those that said he knew since he was 18, well his adoptive family knew before that and didn't fix it. In addition, what 18 yo knows how to navigate the legal maze around immigration law. I agree with Clay Girl.
He went to prison and did his time but then he gets punished for finding out he wasn't a citizen and wanted to make it right by becoming one? Our system is broken.

Unfortunately it isn't up to us Americans who would bring him back. It is up to our government to change and that is a long way off. Our politicians talk a lot about what they want to change and how they are for the people then they get into office and become blinded by greed. It is truly disgusting.
@Black metal baby its not me whose brainwashed, ur the one whose brainwashed by extremely socialistic ideologies about a perfect utopia where we dont need money and a government to moderate people's actions. That is just impossible and only happens in ur imagination because ur too stubborn and stupid to segregate fiction and reality. If u want an example of a nation with no government look at war torn natikns with ongoing civil war. Even in those lawless nations there are warlords that command their troops and moderate their actions in order to have a semblance of order in their ranks and even then they still use a type of currency in exchange for goods like minerals and resources. JUST LIKE MONEY THAT WE USE.
@RedLight GreenArrow Although I'm surprised he served two years for what I assume was a 1st-offense breaking/entering charge (you can't steal your own stuff), the video stated he had assault, weapons, and domestic violence charges when he was older.
Unfortunately if you break into a property without the owners permission. You will get arrested, he should have just called the cops to accompany him and he would have gotten his stuff back with no trouble... sad story
@MusicMadMaurice There's a reason...it's called "for profit prison", they donated bigly to the Republicans after Obama put them out of business...now IT"S BAAACK, basically they donate money to politicians to keep them in business, politicians enact laws and policies that land a lot of people in jail (esp ppl of color) think --current asylum seekers, they then end up in jail, tax payers pay the bill, the prison owners make lots of money and they pay out to the politicians again.... Is this #MAGA?
They're doing it everywhere... There's a video of them deporting an Aussie who spoke the accent & lived there most of his life over a minor criminal charge!

String Up The Maoist, where is the link? And what minor criminal charges are you talking about here? Simple infraction, or something more sinister such as assault and battery
I was also adopted from Asia by white parents. This man's story of abuse and lifetime struggle from the experience is in line with my life. We're a small population and the more adoptees I meet and talk to the more I realize these experiences are the norm. White people adopt Asian kids to virtue signal and show off to their white community how generous they are. In reality, they treat us like stray dogs. " After 8 years, his adoptive parents decided they didn't want him anymore". Sent him to the curb literally.. My adoptive parents said the same words to me at 10 years old. The best decision I made was to go to the recruiter's office at 17 and sign up for the Air Force. I feel like I escaped. Today I'm a tech engineer with a great career, retired from the Air Force after 22 years, and overall healthy and grateful to have had the chance to live the American dream self-made.
Of course and thus it proves Trumptards are insane. The Trumptards and Trump have been complaining about open-border policy of the evil left like lunatics.

I call that INSANE.

There was an influx of a Korean adoptees after world war II as you see and other countries such as China, Iran, Panama. Either the adoption agency ( which was more than likely overseas), the parents, or USICIS didn't finish filing the correct paperwork. Some of you don't realize that a lot of us were taken from our birth parents. If you ever research a lot of the stories you'll see and you'll find out. We were adopted and we came here we had to learn another language. Under USICIS we were granted US citizenship until the age of 18. Just like Adam I was given up by my adopted parents to the state. Like you said being adopted you really don't feel like you belong or fit in. Upon my 18th birthday I had to go to immigration and get another green card which I didn't understand. Never once was I asked if I wanted to become a US citizen this is not something that they offer to you. I didn't realize it till the last 5 years this was the situation. I applied for federal benefits then I was told that I am not naturalized as US citizen. Congress has been fully aware of these adoptees they don't have an exact number but they know we exist. Some of the delegates were very understanding from what I was told and some of them are not I've met a few other adoptees I learned their stories and I learned Adams too. So many of us were walking around here thinking that where US citizens, thinking that we had rights when we actually didn't. So voting is considered a crime against the United States if you're not a US citizen. Applying for benefits and receiving them is another crime against the United States. These are just the name some of the reasons for deportation. I got real blessed I just got my permanent residency card about 4 months ago. This has been a fight with Congress for a very long time. Congress did make a change in the early 2000s but if you were under the age of 18 for adoptees you were automatically granted citizenship. The United States when they take children and they adopt them to other countries they make sure those countries give them their citizenship. We currently have a migration crisis. These people coming have been through hell unable to feed their families and they're just trying to survive. They are given certain rights that they can still get their citizenship even if they commit certain crimes or they were deported and they can come back to the US. Congress is currently working on a law to give these people naturalized citizenship and I'm happy for them because they cannot go back to where they're from. The situation still stands for adoptees we're still being deported we're still not giving our citizenship and we are not able to come back once we're deported. One thing I can say is Korea is giving those adoptees who've been deported back to Korea their Korean citizenship. This is a really hard transition for those of us that came over and are heading back we no longer speak this language. South Korean government is trying to help transition with the large influx of adoptees being sent back. I hope they make the change and grandfather us in and give us our naturalization for citizenship.
I was 9 years of age, adopted from Holts in Korea to family with 5 of own kids. I was very fortunate to be adopted to a wonderful family, especially my dad who treated me as if I was no different than his own blood children. When I see these stories, it really breaks my heart with sadness for the children and anger towards the abusive adoptive parents.
I was adopted through Holt as well, but I was 5 months old. Only child, grew up in norcal. I'd go to Korean adoptee conferences with my parents every year. Good times
Perhaps koreans-americans would be kind enough to personally write to pres.biden with as many signatures ad you can get to rally for the safe return of your co korean-american colleague.
I was adopted too, from “love the children.” Stories like this hit so hard bc I’m truly no different from Adam. I was just luckier than him, and that makes me really emotional bc luck is not something that I feel good about in this case. Anyone could fall on the other side of that and you have no choice in it. I’m praying for him and hoping that he is OK right now, right this minute. I’m going to see if he has a site or something. 🙁
A lot of adoptive parents in the US are abusive. Russia even imposed an adoption ban on the US after several Russian adoptees were killed by their US parents.
@Lasna34 I believe the law was open to interpretation. Like serious felons. Now that crime is down . We are go after with less severe crimes even misdeamors to justify zero tolerance.

Dude - I went to college and took Korean for 1 year. Later, I had multiple private tutors. And my Korean still sucks and wouldn't make it on my own without help in Korea. And places in Korea don't hire anyone off the street for English teachers.
It is. He didn't have a choice to be taken to America, the people who raised him purposely shaped him into a criminal, and now they're deporting him because they've realized what they created. He doesn't know korean any better than the average american, this kind of racism is really disgusting.
I feel sooooo sorry for Adam! He got tossed around like an object after being "glamourously" sent to US for adoption. The system failed the adoptees! Just grant them a piece of paper!!! They are already American in everyways!
Obviously he didn't come here illegally. He was adopted and someone forgot to fill out the necessary papers-that's all been documented. Sure, we have laws here to prevent illegal immigration, but sometimes you just have to make exceptions. But no, we have a bunch of automatons making idiotic decisions.
He was brought to the USA for adoption in 1979 I think? Only 9 years before South Korea held Olympics in 1988. Korean War ceased major hostilities in 1953.
I was adopted by American Parents at the age of 8. I tried to join the military after High School and found out my parents never did anything with my immigration papers. I enter the U.S with a student visa but they did nothing. I couldn't have them help me with my my papers because I was considered an adult. Well I am 50 years old now and after numerous years of paying lawyers and fighting the immigration process I will be getting my Citizenship in 2023. I have spent over 50 thousands of dollars and been taken advantage of by numerous layers. But I am a die hard American I am not a citizen just a Resident but I bleed Red White and Blue. And I hope and pray that INS can make the process easier for people who were adopted as children to stay in America and get their Citizenship.
This is utterly ridiculous. He was a child when he came here. a child. You cannot expect a child to get his own paperwork in order so if there is a loop or a crack in the system-fix it. I don't care if he had a felony or not. The USA is his country. the government in 1955 allowed them to bring these eight kids over whatever paperwork they had at the time that they filed at the time should be sufficient for the rest of their lives and if there is an error the government needs to fix that error. Don't ship these people back for something that had absolutely nothing to do with them.
I feel sorry for him, but somebody takes advantage of the loop or whatever. He is not all innocent. If you are so sympathic with him. You should take him with all this burden to your home, and see if it works. Talk is cheap. If you go to South korea, you will be treated same way or worse. USA or any country can't buy or take all other people's problem, otherwise the country will be a loser(all fucked up) too. USA in California is getting poorer and poorer day by day. Just look around, massive homeless, druggy, zombies, expensive housing and food. Americans and Immigrants and rich companies are moving somewhere else and did not start today, it's happening for the last 20 years. You can't even drive safely, the homeless dart in front of your car when you are using your green light, and they come from the blind spot. It's so scaring so many close calls. Here in Orange County, CA in Santa Ana downtown when drive through, it looks like a war zone flooded with homeless tents, etc. And these homeless don't want to go to shelter because shelter has rules, disciplines: no drugs, no alcohol, working inside the shelter required. They don't want that, they want free ride. I don't feel sorry for them. They want to be in the street to do their drugs. Mental people and druggy people are not supposed to be in the street. There is million dollars for treatment for them. Where the money went. Mental people either were born like that or the drug made them mental. Remember taking drugs you get mental illness, drug is poison to your brain. I never understand what on earth somebody would start drug first time knowing that drug will destroy your life you lose everything including your life.
How so? He didnt commit any crime- the adopting didnt fill out a form for him. The government made a huge error here. The government is far more immoral than this poor guy, in this situation
He committed no crime. The adopting family neglected to get his paperwork completed and turned in when he was a little toddler. That should have been fixed somewhere along the way. Immigration should have considered this and given him an easy pat: Get the paperwork completed, get him his citizenship through a legal process. To deport him due to a mere oversight, possibly a clerical error from the govt. office itself, that's ridiculous. Our country is at fault in this. If I understood right, he later died from suicide because he was so upset and couldn't cope with the loss of his adopted country and family and friends. That's on our country's government. For a commenter not to care at all about the facts and say he was a criminal who should be deported? No, that's not morally right, and a very simple solution could have been made to resolve the issue. He'd lived here since he was a toddler. How much more would you want of him, or anyone? Preposterous not to care. We're Americans. We're supposed to be better than that, not racists and not callous, heartless automatons. There is such a thing as the spirit of the law and not just the letter. Justice was not done here for him. Our government failed a man who was one our own citizens by anything that ought to have been right. It was not his fault. Maybe the adoptive parents, maybe the agency at the time, but not his fault; he was a toddler, and therefore unable to have done anything about it. Somewhere along the way, it should've been taken care of. But since it was not, a sensible solution could have been made to resolve it, but was not. So a man died for no reason, rejected by his adopted nation. How shameful that our government could not find it in their power to do the right thing.
Now : Law students of America..make this your case and succeed by bringing this man back to his family !!! Make humanity your case.You will be rewarded all your life !!
I feel you man. I'm a Korean adoptee living in Seoul. I understand how hard life is. I struggle everyday to fit in here in Korea and back in Australia. Being adopted sometimes puts you in a place where you have no idea where you truly belong, I too never spoke the language when I came back and I still struggle now. Your face is Korean but you don't speak the language but back home your face isn't the same back your language is. Respect.
This is one of the only deportation stories that’s tugged at my heart. I just pray that Adam has been, or will be reunited with his family in the US, and in the meantime I hope he’s doing well. He suffered so much as a child, and God gave him enormous strength to rise above the pain, to pursue purpose. I’ll be in prayer for him, but I do hope he and his family are doing ok. Please, do an update on his story.
Damn... It's cases like these that make me question American immigration. A guy, that had no saying in the matter, was put up for adoption, send to the states, abused, adopted, abused, managed to get on his feet, and just like that it was gone... Empathy is serious lacking in the states. We can't even treat each other as ppl. Just a faceless case number till it's time to clock out. My best wishes to the guy. I hope he finally gets to enjoy the one thing he worked so hard for and never had. Having is family
only half bad 333 ***This wouldn't have happened if not for his felony convictions. This isn't an issue of empathy, it's an issue of law. The man in question did this to himself when he decided to commit a felony, and that's the only fact that matters.
TROLL The law used to deport this man was brought before Congress in 2009, when Obama was president (and thr house/senate was controlled by the democrats). This isn't a Trump issue. While we are on the subject, what president had the most deportations durring his term? OBAMA. Educate yourself and become informed before making comments that have no relevance. Thanks in advance.
Sure... he committed crimes that haunted his life. But yeahLet's forget those little details and live our lives like a third world country.Oh wait a minute... Mexico would have deported him 30 something years ago and no whining would be allowed.
Col. Scott and he gas worked hard to change his life , starting his own business to support his family as a contributing member if society. Once again it's the American story : kid with a tough start makes good. Jow do we repay his hard work? We maroon him in a country not his own, depriving him of the only country he has ever known. That may be legal, but it's just wrong And all the trumptard bigotry you can muster can't change that.
Jake Lakin So you seriously think that *as the child being adopted* it was his responsibility to file the correct paperwork?! That's warped thinking you cretin.
I am shocked and disgusted by some peoples responses. He lived in the states. Had a family. Had a job. You really think its better for him to go to south korea cause it's well developed. I live in a country full of ignorant people.
that's more like making the best out of a bad situation. Since it seems so unlikely for him to return home, he could start a new life there and bring his family there. It's sad but this would've been so much harder if he was from Pakistan or Afghanistan originally.
+ BatmanPwnage Jesus said that in these last days, hearts would grow cold and He, as usual, was right. I agree with you totally. This man was deported on a technicality, because his adoptive "parents" never filled out some form. I understand the law, and I understand obeying the law. BECAUSE of that law, someone needs to step in and bring this man back to his family. If Kim Kardashian can get someone released from prison who didn't belong there so long, then *someone* can come forward and help this man get a pardon and come back. Yes, his crimes were 100% WRONG, but it's clear what drove him to it.. As in, WHO says they "don't want" an adopted child anymore and says, "send him back"? Maybe they didn't fill out that form on purpose, who knows? BAD people, the ones who adopted him in EACH case. Sad it takes a "celebrity" to make the powers that be pay attention. This man paid his dues as they say, and he deserves to live (AT LAST!) in PEACE with his family. For what good it'll do, I'll be writing my Representatives and the President about it. I DO agree with the law, but I ALSO believe that this man IS an exception. I don't know what you believe, but I ask you to join me in prayer for this man to get back here with his family and have a life of peace and joy at long last with his family - someone who at (TOO) long last, absolutely loves him. God bless you and yours, and try to not get too discouraged. The America we live in now isn't the same America where people actually cared for one another in most all cases. That America is sadly, all but gone. Today's America has turned into a "me me me" society. I'm happy to see someone else cares for this man, sincerely. I'm surely praying for him and his family, and for their being reunited.

@@ohnonotagain8935 I keep asking how did we get here as a nation? Maybe we have collective ADHD. Or, maybe we are all living with some form of PTSD which has impacted our ability to cope or think. We are supporting as citizens some horrible policies and we mostly feel we hold no accountability. We are literally voting these law and policy makers into office as servants to the public...representing us. What we allow affects as deeply as what we directly choose. This man is but one example. None of us on this thread would likely directly treat another human being this way...yet we are responsible for collectively voting decision makers that support these policy outcomes. 248 have Thumb Ups this comment. How many vote out of this number? How many stay politically connected to the issues as part of civic duty or basic human interest? How many will just swipe, next, and never look back or again? Unless the algorithm brings them here.
I found it happened a lot , especially with religious parents. They adopt during the hype for media attention and to look good for their social standings, ministers to look great for the congregation. Then their 15 minutes of fame disappears and the kids are only good for the monthly check. From my connections with adoptions during the Vietnamese war, many kids were just adopted because it good look in the newspapers for families, tv shows etc. When you meet them 45 years later, some were locked in basements, some were abused both physically, emotionally, because adoptions were just spur of the moment adoptions. Some committed suicide, some came across with many health problems and died within years of being adopted. It was amazing how many of them were kicked out when they were 18. The ones with adoptions of 8 - 15 kids had all similar stories. Biological ones are treated great, adopted ones were used for "family services", "farmhands" etc Many of them had sex with each other because technically they weren't related. One adoptee had adopted brothers and sisters with 10 minutes of each other in "City A", yet the parents "City B" chose to go and visit their biological children who live 4 hours away one way, and 6 hours away the other direction. the parents actually called her on phone and said, oh were just driving through, don't have time to stop and visit. Out of 39 people I've had met who were adopted same time as me, maybe 10 had good lives. I'm not against adoption, I just cringe and shake my head, every time I hear "Minister adopts child".

Adam sounds like an amazing person and has been failed and let down over and over. He needs someone to stand his corner because nobody ever has by the sound of it. It makes me so mad to hear about some of the things he's been through, nobody should ever experience such a life.
@Siddesh Gannu trust me my guy on judgement day where everyone is equal and the same they will be punished severly for their sins im sure this guy is in heaven rn
First you've got the Americans of yesteryear taking kids from their own countries and having them acclimate in a whole new setting and now you have the Americans of today's time trying to throw out any immigrant that they can possibly find and throw out using any legal loophole possible. Truly sad.
Yeah well I don't have to scrutinize who to thank first before figuring out what I think about this. This kind of thing happened before Trump and it'll continue to happen after Trump. A person builds a life for himself and his loved ones and yet we're beholden to bureaucrats shuffling paperwork around trying to look busy by breaking up families. It's nauseating; partisan politics notwithstanding.
Apparently in the years since this aired, he has moved to Mexico to be closer to his family. I'm glad they're at least a somewhat drivable distance from each other now, though he absolutely should not have been deported. The adoption agency was also ordered by the courts to pay him 75,000 dollars, which likely has helped a lot in helping him not just be closer to his family but also caring for them as best he can. I hope things change for the better in his situation soon
Adam's ability to establish a life in South Korea is extremely limited due to his inability to communicate effectively both through language and culture. This is a travesty of justice.
Not our problem. He had every chance to become legal, and he also had a couple of chances for amnesty over the years. We don't reward people simply because their life may be difficult where they come from. I mean going by your logic, we should kick every non english speaking immigrant out, because their ability to establish a life in America is extremely limited due to their inability to communicate effectively both through language and culture. So congratulations, you just played yourself.
No, since like the 70's, the US has had a couple of big amnesty events like once every decade where they've basically allowed illegals to come forward and be fast tracked to citizenship. Example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control_Act_of_1986 -legalized certain seasonal agricultural illegal immigrants, and; -legalized illegal immigrants who entered the United States before January 1, 1982 and had resided there continuously with the penalty of a fine, back taxes due, and admission of guilt; candidates were required to prove that they were not guilty of crimes, that they were in the country before January 1, 1982, and that they possessed minimal knowledge about U.S. history, government, and the English language. So that's why he has no excuse. He had many chances over the years to become a citizen very easily. And no, we shouldn't reward people simply because they've illegally come to our shores, even if it was against their will or from a young age. By doing that, we would invite a lot of problems, like anchor children where parents get to stay because they brought their kids here, more dependents for people to claim welfare on (i.e. the government pays them money every month per kid), and it would also encourage things like illegal adoption and human trafficking. So it's not as simple as letting people stay.
+Wayne TV Don't let that prick warp your views on americans even further. What you see on tv relating to americans mostly shows the bad. There's ample amount of evidence showing most of us aren't pieces of shit.
@POINTTWOFIVEMOA The US has problems. Instead of being hypersensitive and lashing out at people for acknowledging reality, how about you realize that your job as a citizen is not to vehemently defend your country whenever it does something wrong, but to be willing to recognize it's faults and wrongdoings and work toward fixing and bettering your country?

That's the sickest thing I've heard in a long time. I don't care what kind if crime he may have done, it's America's obligation to let him live in the States. While he is responsible for his past crimes, he isn't responsible for someone else having shipped him over to the U.S. when he was just a kid. It's the ethical obligation of the U.S. to treat him just like every other person having grown up in the U.S. Culturally, he is first and foremost an American -- not Korean.
Tao Yanbao it is not American obligation to let him live in the states it was his obligation to follow the law of the country he lives in. A Visa is about 200 bucks, he has no excuses for not doing what he was legally required to do to remain here. It makes me sick that people like you seem to think that the law should only apply to certain people under certain circumstances, its pathetic really you fucking criminals.
Tao Yanbao once he turned 18 it was his responsibility and his alone, the parents should have but they didnt, that happened decades ago, we cant fix what they did not do nor is it our responsibility to fix it, it was his and his alone solely as I cant walk in for him and day hey he needs a green card only he can do that. So no I'm not retarded you clearly are though, the fact he didnt fix his failed parents mistake is on him alone.
Tao Yanbao fact is he messed up not us, no one but him even knew about the situation because he never tried to fix it. So no man it's his fault and his alone, it shouldnt have happened and we can say that till trumpets sound but it's not gonna change the fact that that's how it went because he let it go that way
Jake Lakin it was the goverments responsibility to follow through with the adopted childs paperwork at least child services could have done it for the first 15 years he was failed by child services. Im sure the hardline approach you have o this is employed in everything else you do.
En P is what happened to him unfortunate absolutely it is, but it wouldn't have happened if he would have taken responsibility for himself and filed his paperwork so he could get his citizenship before he committed all of those crimes that resulted in him being deported. So how is it the fault of anyone other then his shit parents and his own fault?

"I am about to go somewhere completely foreign to me" he told VICE News. WATCH NEXT: bit.ly/2I4PPVG
VICE News I think the one person that needs to get deported ASAP is the founder of VICE news. A Canadian Communist who constantly is putting out misleading anti-American propagandist news pieces to indoctrinate their mostly young American audiences. Indoctrinating them into hating their own country. All the while Shane makes millions of dollars from his hate mongering. This hypocrite owes all his fame and fortune to the U.S.A. Particularly American Capitalism.
Vice, was violence foreign to his victims, or are you asserting that they welcomed the domestic violence? They should have kept calm, with no reason to be alarmed, because it's just part and parcel of being anywhere near him? They should have been "used" to it, so it's no longer foreign? Were his weapons charges for guns that he was going to use on foreigners, or just for use against close friends and adopted family? Would a foreign object made of lead be assimilated well by human flesh and bone? Do you know of anyone willing to demonstrate the concept of "foreign" using any of the examples above? Were his assaults foreign to his victims, or just the way he's used to greeting people?
Vice, your hypocrisy is completely foreign to the first thought for his victims. "Undocumented" is the LEAST of HIS problems. HIS....as in created by, propagated and executed by, continued and repeated by HIM, least of all which is doing ALL this shit, and STILL expect his background would be ignored.

Good point
I understood it as him being adopted, but not naturalized.
Well said
Should have been accepted as an asylum!
He FOUND the problem. He APPLIED to correct it. They are PUNISHING him for trying to do the right think. HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE?
So, when he was 3 and didn't know english it was up to him to know what immigration paperwork to submit? The first family who adopted him and gave him up 6 years later or the organization who facilitated his adoption should have done the paperwork properly. He was shuffled around and ABUSED. How was it his fault shity adults didn't submit the proper paperwork when he was 3? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CASES AREN'T LOOKED INTO. And we treat everyone like trash wholesale. This is not right!
Also, why would he have had any inclination that the paperwork wasn't done properly? I think we all assume adopted or not that the adults in our early lives filed all necessary paperwork for us correctly. Examples being brith certificate, social security numbers, custody paperwork, etc...
When you were 3 did you know to ask your parents if they had filled all your crucial paperwork correctly?
But if he had citizenship, he would not have been deported. The adoption process screwed up. There has to be some leeway in situations like this? Doesn't the US have an immigrations appeal process?
Plus he was brought into the United States legally - just that he paperwork got messed up.

I could go on to basically quote your entire post, but that would be redundant.
DUDE... The guy was "adopted" and literally "taken" from South Korea to the good ole US of A at the age of like two against his will by an "American" family....
Now think about this... I mean this sincerely and put YOURSELF in his shoes while I drop this angle to examine this guys situation for a minute.....
At two when he was adopted by this American family and then they put him in foster care, do you really think it's his fault as a minor he didn't fill out the "proper" immigration documents while he was a kid? Why is the onus on him? Even as an adult? Common sense would reason that the family that adopted him, regardless they put him in foster care, have to take the hit for not filling out his "immigration status" in America after they literally "adopted" the small child and took him here to the states.
It's not like he crossed the southern border illegally through Mexico. He literally was taken against his will and knowledge, hence he was like 2 or 3 yrs old and it's his fault the US government would make a 2-3 year old exempt from these immigration laws considering he "crossed the border" legally since he was "legally" adopted by US citizens and he was too young to make decisions for himself CLEARLY. The onus should be on the "original" US family that adopted him and removed him from his native country. That's crazy talk if you think his situation is his fault.
Why don't you go move to Peru or India since you say... "I'm sure it's not so bad in South Korea. He probably loves it now."
The dude is American and not Korean. He doesn't even speak Korean.
Read what you said and my reply and really put yourself in his shoes. I'm not mad at you, but think your logic is twisted regardless of the written law considering every detail about this unique case is and it's not a normal case.
You seriously sound spineless. The guy is American. The family that adopted him should be the ones in trouble and not this poor guy (i.e. he was abused by them as a small kid and it's his fault per written law).
You got ZERO empathy and soul man.
This is heartbreaking. He should sue for being adopted into a family that dumped him like an unwanted pet. He should sue for being placed in an abusive home. He should never have gone to prison for retrieving his own possessions. It's not right what has happened to him and so many others.
He committed suicide. That's what this story is about. His tragic treatment and his tragic suicide.

@@IcreatedthisbymistakeGod clearly has nothing to do with this story
“6 years later his adoptive parents decided they didn’t want him anymore”... How the hell is that legal? Adoption shouldn’t be something that can be revoked outside of maybe extreme circumstances and if you’re not capable of supporting a child you shouldn’t be able to adopt.
The american dream baby, they treat children like commodities, there's not that much protection because adoption is a market, and you better not put some regulations on the holy free market.
In many europeans countries, none of that would've happened. USA is a rich country trying so hard to a third-world one.
Liquidity is important
It's better revoking an adopted child than forcing people who are able to abandone a kid to care about him or her without any oversight. There would be only constant abuse and total mistreatment.
I agree, but as an adoptee, no child should live with caregivers that dont want them. That's a recipe for neglect and abuse. So sad that's what ended up happening to him
It does happen in Europe the agency is called barnervernet
Guess you owe him all his taxes and such back then. He’s been paying a system he shouldn’t have so fair is fair. Give him back every penny he ever gave to the USA.

The government when in family court applies the law you describe. But when it isnt convenient for the country. They do the opposite. But it gives losers a job in government destroying families .
The government creates criminals to keep themselves busy . Overpaying agents even though the debt is high .who cares 21 trillion dollars debt .the homeland security is more of a public charge than a welfare recipient. Willing to prove this in a jury trial. The government spys on all of us . I dont really care . Unconstitutional laws need to battle tested in court with a great lawyer
@Martha Arteaga You know when your a victim of abuse your like angry and want to fight for justice . I'm tired of people who say we are a nation of laws . Many of these laws are unconstitutional and the founding fathers are willing to be resurrected to start the revolution that they said should happen in 250 years . Government gone wild . Because I don't see people who understand how wrong things are in the country. Other countries aren't much better .
In 2019 Adam filed a lawsuit against the South Korean government and the adoption agency for sending hundreds of children to the US and never accounting for their citizenship status, or their well-being calling it gross negligence. I hope Adam gets his justice.
Do you have any more updates?
@@starfaganation no clue where he is ryt now?
If you google his name and click the "Batara Immigration Law" page, you'll see that he has met his birth mother, who gave him up because she was single, poor, and disabled. The two meet up every few months, but have difficulty communicating, as he speaks very little Korean (presumably only what he has learned since being deported) and she speaks no English
@Keith1974 The system failed him in every way possible, gave him years of trauma, and then you wonder why he didn't know how to handle that trauma and got in trouble with the law? And ontop of that, the US has been deporting people over technicalities for years regardless of whether they break the law or not, some of them even after they served in the military.
@Keith1974 your not only heartless but a complete POS
passing that child around in that manner was abused in itself
The American adoptive parents should be held accountable for not processing his citizenship. What do we know about them?
Exactly!!
They abandoned him after adopting him so I think it's safe to say they're not the best people
They were clueless farmers, just wanted to adopt children and use them as farmhands. When the child(ren) become rebellious, they didn't want the child(ren) anymore. I hope all potential adopters learn from the mistake this man's FIRST adoptive parents made. I hope this man gets to be with his family soon.
I knew it. This is the keyword where the leftist media failed to mention.
They couldn’t afford it most likely.
I'm just now seeing this. Adam was my roommate in Salem and best friend for years. He is even my motivation to become a licensed barber. It's so sad that this happened to him. Being separated from his wife, kids, friends and everything he knows. He's been through so much, even at the hands of his adopted family. Brought to a place that he didn't know and didn't speak the language. The Crapsers are truly evil people. I knew this entire story, yet seeing this (Especially when he was in ICE detention center about to cry himself) seriously made me cry. Adam, I love you, bro! I pray for you regularly.
Please let us know if there is any new updates please.
Write to Congress to change these laws ..
do something to help him out then, not just pray
Ana Sanchez, what you propose for the congress to remake the law? The issue is he rake a few felonies in the past. It is unfortunate but if you want to change the law for all so he can be legal with felonies, can't you see what total catastrophic damage it may introduce to the states?

He was just a tiny Korean the first time so it doesn't really count.

I know. He will carry that pain for the rest of his life. I just want to hold him tight and let him know his family loves him. Poor man.
That's f***ed up. Poor guy! 💔
I have a theory that people not protected by the US (or UK) laws, are not considered people until it doesn't serve obvious political, social, economical purpose. Thus, a little thin-eyed kid is seen as something a little more than a pet/toy or smth.
Gov. Agents are Corrupt.. 6 yrs not matter.. He was w/a family who Loved him.. Gov. sent him to Brutal Butterfly Collectors, who beat him w/a 2 by 4 & burned him w/ cigarettes. US, Gov. Failed him.. & Some US Veterans are treated the same way. You have to Love Self, Protect Life, Breathe Happy.. Peace..!!!
All immigration rules cannot be used against this man for that he is not an immigrant. He didn't migrate to the US, he was brought to the US.
It's not like Adam forged his visa or crossed the border illegally. He was brought to the states, probably against his will, and then got thrown from one foster family to another and dumped. Almost 40 years later, the time where he finally had a loving family and a stable home, America kicked him out and again against his will. It's almost like the adopters brought him to ruin his life, and when he got close to ''the American Dream'' the US decided to ruin Adam's life more.
This. Immigration laws shouldn't be enforceable to him. Though having a Korean passport (or any other country for that matter) probably nullified that :/
Possibly, but I'm not sure if a passport is needed for deportation.
I don't live in the US but I do believe that it's a great country. I just hope that the coming days will better than the ones we've had.
Great music, I love jazz, great landscapes and national parks, great cultural diversity, great museums,...
This is what I personally like about the US.
that crappy logic doesnt even make sense. so illegals can just bring their kids into America & the kids are all instantly citizens, right? what freakin planet are you from?
This really hurts my heart to see. He didn't deserve any of the treatment he got from the negative adoption experiences to the deportation.
In addition to my sincere prayers, what are some other movements that need to happen to get this situation and other issues similar resolved
What do we do? How can I help?🤔
Well said. This hurts my heart too. I pray that this man finds a place to call home with his family.
When I saw that couple adopt 8 kids… I thought right away they’re doing this for money or something else. It’s heartbreaking because I know there’s many many good American families who would have loved him and raised him well. What a bad hand he was dealt… it’s going to be hard for him to integrate into Korean society but I hope he can do it for his family.

This story is gut wrenching. Hope he finds the happiness and peace he deserves.
This should not have happened. I think foreign adoptions deserve the same oversight as domestic ones. He should NOT be deported because he didn't lie, he didn't NOT file the paperwork. He was brought here by an American, he was adopted by an American, he was systematically abused and abandoned by an American. He doesn't deserve this
Under this circumstance, it's more like kidnapping someone from their homeland. What if he were born in North Korea, not the South?
Exactly the reason he should be returned.
@jamal the 3rd no I didn't. That doesn't change the fact that as a child, through no choice of his making, he was brought to this country and raised as an American, fully assimilated to his parent's culture and country. The fact that THEY didn't sign the right papers when he was a child isn't his fault and I just think his citizenship should have been automatic when he was adopted. Sending him to a country he doesn't know, doesn't understand, has no connection to, basically destroying his life is cruel and unusual punishment. If he had been an intentional illegal immigrant, it would have been justified but he didn't even know.
@jamal the 3rd He was punished for those crimes. How many times do you want to punish people? And the fact that he was abused by his so called parents when he should have been protected is not his fault, but the fault of the authorities. And if America allowed these adoptions from South Korea, then the Authorities should have done the paper work as soon as he arrived and granted him his citizen ship. And why could he not have stayed with the Foster Mother, the second person? And the fact that children growing up in an abusive household will generally act the same as adults. And everyone deserves a second chance, or do you think, once a felon they should be treated like crap for the rest of their lives?
@jamal the 3rd he had no reason to check it. Why would he since he was raised here and his parents never made him aware that they hadn't signed the papers? I don't think most people who are adopted from another country would even think to check their immigration status, they would probably think that if they're adopted by a US citizen, it makes them US citizens just like their biological children would be. His citizenship was never in question until he got arrested. I just think deporting him to a country he knows nothing about is excessive

He should sue the United States. He was taken from his country by people who were out to benefit them selfs. Then they dumped him. He ended up in a horrible situation. Being abused, this would be looked at today as human trafficking of a child. The government allowed this to happen to him by taking no oversight of what happens to these children once they got here. This is a crime committed by the USA. Not the child, not only should they give him his citizenship they should compensate him for the horrible treatment he has lived through. The government allow him to be taken from his home country. He didn’t come hear by his own accord.

Injustice done to him.
He's had all these years... since he was 18 to fix the problem. Why willingly break a federal law? That's what he did. At any moment he could have fixed it, but, he waited far, far to long. You know, as an adult you are supposed to be self-Responsible.... it's a choice and he just ignored his responsibility. No one's fault but his own. Each Human born has a difficult life... are you going to wallow in victimhood or take responsibility for your life. Don't wait until it is to late.
Marcy Carson so it’s his fault his adopted parents decided to be negligent and not finish off the paper for the infant they chose to bring to America. He did not decide to be here
He could have changed his situation long before he was told to leave. He knew there was a problem long before he turned 18. Each of us is responsible for our own lives. No, he did not choose to be here. Though, if he'd remained in Korea it was very possible that he wouldn't be alive at all. He should count his blessings. Yes, his adopted parents had the responsibility to take care of the paperwork. Because this wasn't done, it sounds like something screwy was going on, this sort of thing doesn't happen without reason. He didn't do it until he was pushing middle age. That's to bad, he broke the law and ignored it until it was far to late. It's not your fault, it is not mine, the responsibility for his life and the choices he made.....are entirely his. Sounds like you feel strongly about this subject. You should contact him and see what you can do to help his cause. Maybe you can find out why he was adopted by a USA family without the proper paperwork from Korea or the USA. .
Life isn't fair but laws still need to be followed
He was a victim of his adoptive families neglect. If there was a true justice system, the initial adoptive paperwork would have been filed and he would have become a US citizen. Insult was added to injustice when he was convicted of a crime for trying to get his only belongings from an abusive family. For those that said he knew since he was 18, well his adoptive family knew before that and didn't fix it. In addition, what 18 yo knows how to navigate the legal maze around immigration law. I agree with Clay Girl.

I was also adopted from Asia by white parents. This man's story of abuse and lifetime struggle from the experience is in line with my life. We're a small population and the more adoptees I meet and talk to the more I realize these experiences are the norm. White people adopt Asian kids to virtue signal and show off to their white community how generous they are. In reality, they treat us like stray dogs. " After 8 years, his adoptive parents decided they didn't want him anymore". Sent him to the curb literally.. My adoptive parents said the same words to me at 10 years old. The best decision I made was to go to the recruiter's office at 17 and sign up for the Air Force. I feel like I escaped. Today I'm a tech engineer with a great career, retired from the Air Force after 22 years, and overall healthy and grateful to have had the chance to live the American dream self-made.

You're a POS for being so hateful Kara
Being adopted and being abused alone deserve him the pardon.
There was an influx of a Korean adoptees after world war II as you see and other countries such as China, Iran, Panama.
Either the adoption agency ( which was more than likely overseas), the parents, or USICIS didn't finish filing the correct paperwork.
Some of you don't realize that a lot of us were taken from our birth parents. If you ever research a lot of the stories you'll see and you'll find out.
We were adopted and we came here we had to learn another language. Under USICIS we were granted US citizenship until the age of 18.
Just like Adam I was given up by my adopted parents to the state. Like you said being adopted you really don't feel like you belong or fit in.
Upon my 18th birthday I had to go to immigration and get another green card which I didn't understand. Never once was I asked if I wanted to become a US citizen this is not something that they offer to you.
I didn't realize it till the last 5 years this was the situation. I applied for federal benefits then I was told that I am not naturalized as US citizen.
Congress has been fully aware of these adoptees they don't have an exact number but they know we exist. Some of the delegates were very understanding from what I was told and some of them are not I've met a few other adoptees I learned their stories and I learned Adams too.
So many of us were walking around here thinking that where US citizens, thinking that we had rights when we actually didn't.
So voting is considered a crime against the United States if you're not a US citizen. Applying for benefits and receiving them is another crime against the United States. These are just the name some of the reasons for deportation.
I got real blessed I just got my permanent residency card about 4 months ago. This has been a fight with Congress for a very long time.
Congress did make a change in the early 2000s but if you were under the age of 18 for adoptees you were automatically granted citizenship. The United States when they take children and they adopt them to other countries they make sure those countries give them their citizenship.
We currently have a migration crisis. These people coming have been through hell unable to feed their families and they're just trying to survive.
They are given certain rights that they can still get their citizenship even if they commit certain crimes or they were deported and they can come back to the US.
Congress is currently working on a law to give these people naturalized citizenship and I'm happy for them because they cannot go back to where they're from.
The situation still stands for adoptees we're still being deported we're still not giving our citizenship and we are not able to come back once we're deported.
One thing I can say is Korea is giving those adoptees who've been deported back to Korea their Korean citizenship. This is a really hard transition for those of us that came over and are heading back we no longer speak this language.
South Korean government is trying to help transition with the large influx of adoptees being sent back.
I hope they make the change and grandfather us in and give us our naturalization for citizenship.
I was 9 years of age, adopted from Holts in Korea to family with 5 of own kids. I was very fortunate to be adopted to a wonderful family, especially my dad who treated me as if I was no different than his own blood children. When I see these stories, it really breaks my heart with sadness for the children and anger towards the abusive adoptive parents.
I was adopted through Holt as well, but I was 5 months old. Only child, grew up in norcal. I'd go to Korean adoptee conferences with my parents every year. Good times
Perhaps koreans-americans would be kind enough to personally write to pres.biden with as many signatures ad you can get to rally for the safe return of your co korean-american colleague.
I was adopted too, from “love the children.” Stories like this hit so hard bc I’m truly no different from Adam. I was just luckier than him, and that makes me really emotional bc luck is not something that I feel good about in this case. Anyone could fall on the other side of that and you have no choice in it. I’m praying for him and hoping that he is OK right now, right this minute. I’m going to see if he has a site or something. 🙁
A lot of adoptive parents in the US are abusive. Russia even imposed an adoption ban on the US after several Russian adoptees were killed by their US parents.
Very sad
This is what happens when you create policies based on fear instead of reason. You end up with insane policies that are cruel and make no sense.
@Lasna34 I believe the law was open to interpretation. Like serious felons. Now that crime is down . We are go after with less severe crimes even misdeamors to justify zero tolerance.

Dude - I went to college and took Korean for 1 year. Later, I had multiple private tutors. And my Korean still sucks and wouldn't make it on my own without help in Korea. And places in Korea don't hire anyone off the street for English teachers.
Blame Trump for repealing DACA
HKim0072 What were your private tutors teaching you, what was not good about them.
I feel like its a crime what they are doing to him
It is. He didn't have a choice to be taken to America, the people who raised him purposely shaped him into a criminal, and now they're deporting him because they've realized what they created. He doesn't know korean any better than the average american, this kind of racism is really disgusting.
Gee do you think??? Grow a brain.
Maraid Vintena agree
Agree.
Not the first case. A man who was adopted as a child and was a veteran was deported to South America. He died. not a way to treat a veteran
I feel sooooo sorry for Adam! He got tossed around like an object after being "glamourously" sent to US for adoption. The system failed the adoptees! Just grant them a piece of paper!!! They are already American in everyways!
Obviously he didn't come here illegally. He was adopted and someone forgot to fill out the necessary papers-that's all been documented. Sure, we have laws here to prevent illegal immigration, but sometimes you just have to make exceptions. But no, we have a bunch of automatons making idiotic decisions.
Once you let people destroyed your country than you fucked
that he is illegal is BS. i do not believe that being adopted don't change his status.
so this guy's life has sucked from the very beginning and the country he was forcibly brought to is kicking him out?
welcome him to their suck ass country, run through all their dog shits just to kick him out when he's an adult and finally stable
Deported during Obama administration.
happens more than you think
Cauze being an orphan in war torn Korea was a much better option. :/
He was brought to the USA for adoption in 1979 I think? Only 9 years before South Korea held Olympics in 1988. Korean War ceased major hostilities in 1953.
I was adopted by American Parents at the age of 8. I tried to join the military after High School and found out my parents never did anything with my immigration papers. I enter the U.S with a student visa but they did nothing. I couldn't have them help me with my my papers because I was considered an adult. Well I am 50 years old now and after numerous years of paying lawyers and fighting the immigration process I will be getting my Citizenship in 2023. I have spent over 50 thousands of dollars and been taken advantage of by numerous layers. But I am a die hard American I am not a citizen just a Resident but I bleed Red White and Blue. And I hope and pray that INS can make the process easier for people who were adopted as children to stay in America and get their Citizenship.
This is utterly ridiculous. He was a child when he came here. a child. You cannot expect a child to get his own paperwork in order so if there is a loop or a crack in the system-fix it. I don't care if he had a felony or not. The USA is his country. the government in 1955 allowed them to bring these eight kids over whatever paperwork they had at the time that they filed at the time should be sufficient for the rest of their lives and if there is an error the government needs to fix that error. Don't ship these people back for something that had absolutely nothing to do with them.
Well the USA isn't his country he doesn't have the paper work to prove it so time to go home
@@otisredrim7662 You go home the natives own the land you immigrant.
otis redrim wow just wow I have no words to say how can you be so heartless smh
FRAG OUT,FIRE IN THE HOLE! Your so fucken ignorant
I feel sorry for him, but somebody takes advantage of the loop or whatever. He is not all innocent. If you are so sympathic with him. You should take him with all this burden to your home, and see if it works. Talk is cheap. If you go to South korea, you will be treated same way or worse. USA or any country can't buy or take all other people's problem, otherwise the country will be a loser(all fucked up) too. USA in California is getting poorer and poorer day by day. Just look around, massive homeless, druggy, zombies, expensive housing and food. Americans and Immigrants and rich companies are moving somewhere else and did not start today, it's happening for the last 20 years. You can't even drive safely, the homeless dart in front of your car when you are using your green light, and they come from the blind spot. It's so scaring so many close calls. Here in Orange County, CA in Santa Ana downtown when drive through, it looks like a war zone flooded with homeless tents, etc. And these homeless don't want to go to shelter because shelter has rules, disciplines: no drugs, no alcohol, working inside the shelter required. They don't want that, they want free ride. I don't feel sorry for them. They want to be in the street to do their drugs. Mental people and druggy people are not supposed to be in the street. There is million dollars for treatment for them. Where the money went. Mental people either were born like that or the drug made them mental. Remember taking drugs you get mental illness, drug is poison to your brain. I never understand what on earth somebody would start drug first time knowing that drug will destroy your life you lose everything including your life.
This is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever heard. He deserves the world
Update, he is doing fine, he found his mom and living happy.
The crime committed by the US Govt is far greater than that of this poor guy.
no it isnt, drama queen
Texas Gun stfu he got deported for no reason losing everything so
LARRYBOB30 I completely agree with you.
How so? He didnt commit any crime- the adopting didnt fill out a form for him. The government made a huge error here. The government is far more immoral than this poor guy, in this situation
He committed no crime. The adopting family neglected to get his paperwork completed and turned in when he was a little toddler. That should have been fixed somewhere along the way. Immigration should have considered this and given him an easy pat: Get the paperwork completed, get him his citizenship through a legal process. To deport him due to a mere oversight, possibly a clerical error from the govt. office itself, that's ridiculous. Our country is at fault in this. If I understood right, he later died from suicide because he was so upset and couldn't cope with the loss of his adopted country and family and friends. That's on our country's government. For a commenter not to care at all about the facts and say he was a criminal who should be deported? No, that's not morally right, and a very simple solution could have been made to resolve the issue. He'd lived here since he was a toddler. How much more would you want of him, or anyone? Preposterous not to care. We're Americans. We're supposed to be better than that, not racists and not callous, heartless automatons. There is such a thing as the spirit of the law and not just the letter. Justice was not done here for him. Our government failed a man who was one our own citizens by anything that ought to have been right. It was not his fault. Maybe the adoptive parents, maybe the agency at the time, but not his fault; he was a toddler, and therefore unable to have done anything about it. Somewhere along the way, it should've been taken care of. But since it was not, a sensible solution could have been made to resolve it, but was not. So a man died for no reason, rejected by his adopted nation. How shameful that our government could not find it in their power to do the right thing.
Where are we at with this 7 years later?

I feel you man. I'm a Korean adoptee living in Seoul. I understand how hard life is. I struggle everyday to fit in here in Korea and back in Australia. Being adopted sometimes puts you in a place where you have no idea where you truly belong, I too never spoke the language when I came back and I still struggle now.
Your face is Korean but you don't speak the language but back home your face isn't the same back your language is.
Respect.

Mrphantom . No I came to Korea by my own choice.
Walter Gebhard Why?

This is one of the only deportation stories that’s tugged at my heart. I just pray that Adam has been, or will be reunited with his family in the US, and in the meantime I hope he’s doing well. He suffered so much as a child, and God gave him enormous strength to rise above the pain, to pursue purpose. I’ll be in prayer for him, but I do hope he and his family are doing ok.
Please, do an update on his story.
I think theyre living together in Mexico now.
Damn...
It's cases like these that make me question American immigration. A guy, that had no saying in the matter, was put up for adoption, send to the states, abused, adopted, abused, managed to get on his feet, and just like that it was gone...
Empathy is serious lacking in the states. We can't even treat each other as ppl. Just a faceless case number till it's time to clock out.
My best wishes to the guy. I hope he finally gets to enjoy the one thing he worked so hard for and never had. Having is family
That's who you guys voted for! tons of these cases.
only half bad 333 ***This wouldn't have happened if not for his felony convictions. This isn't an issue of empathy, it's an issue of law. The man in question did this to himself when he decided to commit a felony, and that's the only fact that matters.
TROLL The law used to deport this man was brought before Congress in 2009, when Obama was president (and thr house/senate was controlled by the democrats). This isn't a Trump issue. While we are on the subject, what president had the most deportations durring his term? OBAMA. Educate yourself and become informed before making comments that have no relevance. Thanks in advance.

Once again it's the American story : kid with a tough start makes good. Jow do we repay his hard work? We maroon him in a country not his own, depriving him of the only country he has ever known. That may be legal, but it's just wrong And all the trumptard bigotry you can muster can't change that.

I am shocked and disgusted by some peoples responses. He lived in the states. Had a family. Had a job. You really think its better for him to go to south korea cause it's well developed. I live in a country full of ignorant people.
Ignorance means not knowing or lack of information, it does not mean unpleasant or cruel.
that's more like making the best out of a bad situation. Since it seems so unlikely for him to return home, he could start a new life there and bring his family there. It's sad but this would've been so much harder if he was from Pakistan or Afghanistan originally.

Jesus said that in these last days, hearts would grow cold and He, as usual, was right. I agree with you totally. This man was deported on a technicality, because his adoptive "parents" never filled out some form. I understand the law, and I understand obeying the law. BECAUSE of that law, someone needs to step in and bring this man back to his family. If Kim Kardashian can get someone released from prison who didn't belong there so long, then *someone* can come forward and help this man get a pardon and come back. Yes, his crimes were 100% WRONG, but it's clear what drove him to it.. As in, WHO says they "don't want" an adopted child anymore and says, "send him back"? Maybe they didn't fill out that form on purpose, who knows? BAD people, the ones who adopted him in EACH case. Sad it takes a "celebrity" to make the powers that be pay attention. This man paid his dues as they say, and he deserves to live (AT LAST!) in PEACE with his family. For what good it'll do, I'll be writing my Representatives and the President about it. I DO agree with the law, but I ALSO believe that this man IS an exception. I don't know what you believe, but I ask you to join me in prayer for this man to get back here with his family and have a life of peace and joy at long last with his family - someone who at (TOO) long last, absolutely loves him. God bless you and yours, and try to not get too discouraged. The America we live in now isn't the same America where people actually cared for one another in most all cases. That America is sadly, all but gone. Today's America has turned into a "me me me" society. I'm happy to see someone else cares for this man, sincerely. I'm surely praying for him and his family, and for their being reunited.
Adam's original adoptive parents abandoned him. It's unbelievable how cruel some people can be.
No it completely believable. We are a Country of immigrants who happen to suck at understanding immigrants.
Some people treat children like pets and pets like children. In his case, he was treated like a punching bag sex toy child.
With the amount of pet animals people throw away each year it doesn't surprise me. Most hobbies have a 3 year lifespan from kayaking to exotic animal ownership. Humans just don't do long term commitments anymore

I found it happened a lot , especially with religious parents.
They adopt during the hype for media attention and to look good for their social standings, ministers to look great for the congregation.
Then their 15 minutes of fame disappears and the kids are only good for the monthly check.
From my connections with adoptions during the Vietnamese war, many kids were just adopted because it good look in the newspapers for families, tv shows etc.
When you meet them 45 years later, some were locked in basements, some were abused both physically, emotionally, because adoptions were just spur of the moment
adoptions.
Some committed suicide, some came across with many health problems and died within years of being adopted.
It was amazing how many of them were kicked out when they were 18.
The ones with adoptions of 8 - 15 kids had all similar stories.
Biological ones are treated great, adopted ones were used for "family services", "farmhands" etc
Many of them had sex with each other because technically they weren't related.
One adoptee had adopted brothers and sisters with 10 minutes of each other in "City A", yet the parents "City B"
chose to go and visit their biological children who live 4 hours away one way, and 6 hours away the other direction.
the parents actually called her on phone and said, oh were just driving through, don't have time to stop and visit.
Out of 39 people I've had met who were adopted same time as me, maybe 10 had good lives.
I'm not against adoption, I just cringe and shake my head, every time I hear "Minister adopts child".

That's what happens when you don't follow the law.
Apparently in the years since this aired, he has moved to Mexico to be closer to his family. I'm glad they're at least a somewhat drivable distance from each other now, though he absolutely should not have been deported. The adoption agency was also ordered by the courts to pay him 75,000 dollars, which likely has helped a lot in helping him not just be closer to his family but also caring for them as best he can. I hope things change for the better in his situation soon
Adam's ability to establish a life in South Korea is extremely limited due to his inability to communicate effectively both through language and culture. This is a travesty of justice.
Not our problem. He had every chance to become legal, and he also had a couple of chances for amnesty over the years. We don't reward people simply because their life may be difficult where they come from. I mean going by your logic, we should kick every non english speaking immigrant out, because their ability to establish a life in America is extremely limited due to their inability to communicate effectively both through language and culture. So congratulations, you just played yourself.
No, since like the 70's, the US has had a couple of big amnesty events like once every decade where they've basically allowed illegals to come forward and be fast tracked to citizenship.
Example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control_Act_of_1986
-legalized certain seasonal agricultural illegal immigrants, and;
-legalized illegal immigrants who entered the United States before January 1, 1982 and had resided there continuously with the penalty of a fine, back taxes due, and admission of guilt; candidates were required to prove that they were not guilty of crimes, that they were in the country before January 1, 1982, and that they possessed minimal knowledge about U.S. history, government, and the English language.
So that's why he has no excuse. He had many chances over the years to become a citizen very easily. And no, we shouldn't reward people simply because they've illegally come to our shores, even if it was against their will or from a young age. By doing that, we would invite a lot of problems, like anchor children where parents get to stay because they brought their kids here, more dependents for people to claim welfare on (i.e. the government pays them money every month per kid), and it would also encourage things like illegal adoption and human trafficking. So it's not as simple as letting people stay.
+Wayne TV Don't let that prick warp your views on americans even further. What you see on tv relating to americans mostly shows the bad. There's ample amount of evidence showing most of us aren't pieces of shit.

Multiple agencies failed this man when he was a child under 18.
That's the sickest thing I've heard in a long time. I don't care what kind if crime he may have done, it's America's obligation to let him live in the States. While he is responsible for his past crimes, he isn't responsible for someone else having shipped him over to the U.S. when he was just a kid. It's the ethical obligation of the U.S. to treat him just like every other person having grown up in the U.S. Culturally, he is first and foremost an American -- not Korean.
Tao Yanbao it is not American obligation to let him live in the states it was his obligation to follow the law of the country he lives in. A Visa is about 200 bucks, he has no excuses for not doing what he was legally required to do to remain here. It makes me sick that people like you seem to think that the law should only apply to certain people under certain circumstances, its pathetic really you fucking criminals.
Tao Yanbao once he turned 18 it was his responsibility and his alone, the parents should have but they didnt, that happened decades ago, we cant fix what they did not do nor is it our responsibility to fix it, it was his and his alone solely as I cant walk in for him and day hey he needs a green card only he can do that. So no I'm not retarded you clearly are though, the fact he didnt fix his failed parents mistake is on him alone.
Tao Yanbao fact is he messed up not us, no one but him even knew about the situation because he never tried to fix it. So no man it's his fault and his alone, it shouldnt have happened and we can say that till trumpets sound but it's not gonna change the fact that that's how it went because he let it go that way
Jake Lakin it was the goverments responsibility to follow through with the adopted childs paperwork at least child services could have done it for the first 15 years he was failed by child services. Im sure the hardline approach you have o this is employed in everything else you do.
En P is what happened to him unfortunate absolutely it is, but it wouldn't have happened if he would have taken responsibility for himself and filed his paperwork so he could get his citizenship before he committed all of those crimes that resulted in him being deported. So how is it the fault of anyone other then his shit parents and his own fault?

Oh man the irony is palpable. I am shocked at how moronic and at the same time unaware some people are.....
OMG!! This is so sad! People failed him time and time again and the system failed him! It’s heartbreaking. I hope he’s found peace and love in his new life.
I don’t understand the bureaucratic inhumanity and cruelty of these situations. Punishing the children for the mistakes of adults. Horrifying.
Asians worship whites so oh well.
Poor Adam...how could you not be mad at the whole world when you've had a life like that
He is forced to leave the only home he ever remembered. Thats outrageous.
