Adoptive father and mother

My adoptive father sexually abused me from the age of 4 until 14 years old.  He continued to emotionally abuse me until shortly before his death in 1993. My adoptive mother not only failed to protect me after I told her about the abuse, but she also harshly criticized me as well.  Her inactions and neglect negatively affected me as much as her actions.  I was 26 when she took responsibility for her actions, but I still dont feel that she has fully recognized her role as the abuser or accomplice.

Your Message
About Abuse: 

Silence protects abusers, prevents healing for the victims and thus, perpetuates abuse. The years lost to self-doubt, guilt, and shame because of abuse, will never be recovered, however, as healing adults we can expose the truth to help ourselves and others who may not feel strong enough yet to speak about the injustices done to them.  Victims can stop the cycle of abuse and empower themselves to take back their lives for today and tomorrow. 

About adoption: 

Adoption is a multi-billion dollar industry primarily benefitting adoption agencies under the guise of protecting and saving unwanted children.  Not all adoptees were unwanted children and legal adoptions occur without the biological parents voluntarily relinquishing their children. Specifically in South Korea, a paradigm shift must occur in order for unwed mothers to have the option of keeping their babies instead of giving them up to adoption. There is much work to do in Korea to change the existing laws and practices.
