A New Way to "Go Dutch"
Via the Daily Mail, a Dutch couple living abroad abandoned a 7-year-old South Korean girl that they had adopted as a baby. Apparently, the couple took in the girl after failing to conceive. Subsequently, they had two biological children, and then decided that their adopted child didn't "fit in" with their lifestyle—that she was struggling to adapt to their culture, and that they just couldn't take it anymore. Now the girl's in foster care in Hong Kong!
The Dutch couple's story just doesn't make any sense. The girl grew up with them, how could she fail to "adapt"? If I'm reading the story correctly, the couple's suggesting that the girl's innate South Korean-ness has made it impossible for them to care for her as a daughter.
