POV

Today I watched a movie on PBS's website called In the matter of Cha jung Hee

Watch the full episode. See more POV.


it is really interesting what had happened to her along the way. How the original girl Cha Jung Hee had parents, a father and it was said that they were dead. With Ok Jin or Deann that she had parents (a mother) that was alive, and was actually trying to look for her when she was a teen. Can these sorts of things happen today? I'm guessing probably not as much since the children will have come from the hospital, to a foster care family. The history in this is the most interesting of all I think, of the Korean war and how they were poor as a country at that time, and how Koreans thought of America as "streets paved with gold" as it says in this film. I wonder if that is the thought over there today, that the birthmothers think that everyone over here has lots of money and it would be better for the children here.
