kyburgA Dutch couple living in Hong Kong yesterday found themselves at the centre of an international controversy after they gave up their daughter for adoption seven years after they adopted her themselves.
Raymond Poeteray, 55, who has worked as a Dutch diplomat for more than 20 years, and his wife, Meta, adopted Jade, an ethnic Korean girl, when she was four months old.
She's been in foster care outside the family for over a year. And no, no adoptive family has been identified for the child to move towards - even after being in care for over a year.
Nobody is talking much, outside of saying it's traumatic, etc. Natch.
Gods. It would be useful information, if they could simply say what went wrong.
And why, oh why, is there no attempt to find the birth family. Even at this remove. *kicks*
