Thank you so much!! 💖 Hope that the baby is doing well now 🙏🏼

I shed tears this entire documentary. As a mom who placed my newborn baby for adoption, I feel the exact pain in my heart as those mothers who surrendered their precious babies out of desperation 😢😢

How can I donate to the baby box and Pastor Cho? I'm in the United States but I'd love to show them support

❤‍🩹@@IwantRoses

​@@IwantRosesI hope u r OK x

I think because it is a lot of time and money to raise a baby into adult. People only see the number but do not want to be part of the process. I am a mother myself, I understand why people don’t want kids

Facts

@@annat6249I don’t understand why they can’t just stop themselves from being pregnant In the first place. To me it seems more cruel to bring a child to this world so they can suffer the trauma of being abandoned their whole lives. The parents always complain, and no one remembers how painful it is to be a child who isn’t nurtured, who is not wanted.

Here in the USA, the problem is that our social institutions have broken down and young people are no longer taught, and do not expect to live morally, nor face the consequences of living immorally. I expect it is rather like that in S.Korea too.

​@@delynndehardt1859but that is the fault of the generations preceding who had it great for them by the best generation. They didn't provide for their children and due to increasing lifespan also burden the next generation financially.

Amen!!

Father God, bless the staff abundantly. Give them strength, over whelming love snd empathy for ever precious child offered for safety and care. Amen❤

asians have better mental health than caucasians we dont get depressed easily

It’s Korea. Their mental health probably won’t be taken care of. Mental health/illness isn’t taken seriously in Asian cultures and I know that first-hand because I was only diagnosed with clinical anxiety at age 20 and clinical depression at 23. I had denied ever having symptoms of these conditions in my life up to those points and my mom was shocked when I told her of my depression diagnosis because she thought “how could you have depression, TOO?” My dad literally never thought emotions were something that need to be nurtured in children, so it’s no surprise that my [older] siblings and I developed mental illnesses over the years

God bless TICHLY.the Asiatic people. In Jesus Christ. Amen And auch cutie beauty baby❤😊

​@@torilllundborn7899 not sure you mean ofTrishley, but agree along with you anyway,lots cuties good babies shows how by touch and love needs mets quick best out comes.

I could imagine myself to working like that in the future.Once in 2012 I almost had the possibility to working in a kitchen of a foster care and helping with foster children.Then another decision was made and other things were happening.But I think it can be a fullfilled life to working like that.

It's more of a women's choice to have kids than a guy

@@DylanDkohI’d love your take on why the heck that would be the case

I as a woman made it to where I didnt have a baby when I couldnt take care of or wanted…as in the end im the one that is left having the infant…..its just a fact

@@DylanDkoh It happens many times and is super common. First of all it isn't easy to abort the baby because they can be shamed by the society that she was pregnant before marriage so and so if they go to doctor. so parents dont want others to know she was pregnant.and Sexual harrassments are so common too would the family let others find that their daughter is sexually harrassed? secondly maybe the guys convinced the girl that he will also take care of the baby and girl wanted to start life with him but they ditch everything at the end so the teens have to leave the baby on streets.Women cant raise the baby on their own they will definitely face the pressure of the society and parents and in most cases they cant get jobs in places like Korea where to get a job it is so much competition. No money and the person who should take care run away like a chicken. and dont forget in many cases the girl cant abort due to medical conditions too. Its funny everything it was the women's fault even though both men and women did it together. and many cases women do want to keep them but her parents are the one who threw the kids without her knowing. The girl who is depend on her parents as no right to go against their wishes.This is Asia where words of parents matter more than your happiness and life. where child abuse is considered super normal form of parenting. Before blaming the woman what if she was never given any choice in first place and everyone around her took decisions for her and all the blame goes to her.

Biology!!! Learn it! It takes two to tango, baby! Educate ya self!

Yesssss

What you're trying to say that is that S.korea is at the bleeding edge of technology in the 21st century, but like in the 1940 in terms of cultural and societal progress.

The problem isn't the teenaged father. The overriding problem for both the teen father and the teen mother is that they're consumed with fear about the punishment they'll receive from their parent (s) if they learn about the baby. You heard them on the video, eg, the teen mother fears her parent won't let the baby in the house. If I'd been in that situation as a teen, I wouldn't have gone home because I would've been beaten by my parents.

​@@susanmullen8648In the majority of cases when a teenage girl gets pregnant, the father is significantly older and not a teenager.

@@susanmullen8648No one is saying the fathers are the problem. We’re saying the fathers get off easy and the mothers are left to pick up the pieces.

I think the other problem is that the community really looks down on single parents. So that also makes life for these parents soo hard

Another problem is that Koreans don’t want to adopt other children. There’s a stigma there and also it’s their pride/ego.

Korea actually has a ton of support for babies and new parents. Monthly stipends, free daycare, the National healthcare is great. The issue is the social stigma placed by society.

@@KateLove21did you not watch the video? They said at some point in the vid that there isn't a lot of help for single moms

​@@KateLove21those are for married couples

Not only korean, because s.korean adopted German law codex a.ka european continental codex

💖

In video 📹 all seems good but in reality 😕 who knows....

even when the gov give them child support they rarely paid it , in my country they rather go to jail than paid for it some men have no shame

Yes. Even if a man walks away from the baby he created, the woman still has a baby growing inside her body and has to inevitably birth/abort the baby. Women literally can't run away from parenthood responsibilities/realities the way men can.

god bless you

@@user-py7ttFr my father left me when I was around one? My mom and him were never married and he has ran away I belive we know where he is and he refused to pay child support and has been to jail from it

@@blossom1643 trying to trigger people with your comments on different threads, aren't ya. Smh. Trying to guilt trip females for having sex outside of marriage? Guess what, this has been happening since the beginning of time. So get off your pedestal and just stop.

Also, they were abandoned too. Those young people deserve help to live and keep their family whole.

The thing is..they low key showed signs of trauma bonding. They 9/10 wouldn’t have been in that situation if they weren’t abandoned and shown love as a kid. It’s sad because I’m a sense history repeats itself. I feel bad for the parents of that child as well as that child.

Real

I don't understand why they couldn't or wouldn't register they had run away from home and living on the streets anyway

@@charlenetowneruk family registers go back generations. It’s seen as shameful to have a baby out of wedlock at that at a young age. Their parents or grandparents would’ve disowned them. A lot of Asian parents care about what others think of them..that’s why you see many people in the video saying that asked their parents and they said no..so they can’t register.

❤❤❤❤ que hermosa oportunidad para tu hija fue tenerles a ustedes.

Obrigada por existirem na vida de sua filha!

They did have a father though. He just was immature and ran away from any responsibility.

부끄러운 한국의 현실입니다.혼혈 아이를 포기하고 미국으로 입양 보내도록 한국 정부가 어머니들을 설득 했습니다.어머니들은 모두 울면서 비행기를 보며 손을 흔들었습니다.당시 미군들이 한국여자들과 아이들을 버리고 미국으로 가버린 경우가 상당히 많았습니다.전쟁후 빈곤한 나라에 여자와 아이를 버린것은 죽거나 아이를 포기하라는 뜻입니다.....그 이후로 아이를 혼자키우는것은 사회의 차가운 시선을 받아야했고 현재 아이를 키우고싶어도 한달에 20만원 30만원의 지원비로는 절대 키울수없습니다.아이 아버지는 양육비도 주지 않으며 양육비 청구소송에서 승소하더라도 아기의 아버지가 안주면 그만입니다.한국에서 여자 혼자 아이를 키우는것이 얼마나 힘든지 이해하지 못할것입니다.너무 슬프다 한국도 빨리 한부모 가정에 대한 지원과 사회적 시선이 좋아졌으면 좋겠습니다.

God bless y'all

Although I am glad that you are there for your grandson, it would be better if you could support your daughter in her role as the mother to your grandson. Does she refuse to be involved with him? She sounds like she is still only an adolescent at 17. She probably needs you as well. I am not criticizing, just asking.

​@@ctgctg1This is so sad. There is so much shame! Hidden pregnancies and solo births. The thing that really caught me off gaurd was when they said single mothers have no way to register the birth? Thats crazy sad. The momma in me wants to give all those babies a safe place but also all those scared teenage moms a hug.

@@dianaharrell8416 it is. I was not criticizing the original poster. Just asking. Family is everything and I am glad you had the support you needed. Post-partum depression is tough.

@@dianaharrell8416 I am so glad you had the support of your family. I was not criticizing the original poster. Postpartum depression is brutal, as is the sleep deprivation that follows birth. I am forever grateful to my mom and spouse for helping my daughter and I get through that time. I just know, I would have been hurt if my daughter had called my mom, mommy. My mom has always been so careful about this point and always supported my role as the parent. But each situation is different, and what matters most is for the safety of the baby. Glad things are going well for you.

@@dianaharrell8416 My niece had a horrific birth and all she wanted was to cry and sleep. The nurses kindof forced the child on her chest, saying she was 'mean' for not letting him drink and saying things like; 'Don't you love him?!" She was in her early 30's and absolutely devastated after she was told (by her christian relatives) that birthgiving would be a piece of cake and it wasn't. She did get over it, in a few months time, but another girl I know (that got the baby through r@pe) is now 7 years further and she can barely look at the (now child)baby without vomiting. That story was heartbreaking, she was 13 when she was impregnated and her (christian, also) parents made her keep the baby, even though she didn't want it. They only visited her in the insane-asylum wíth the baby, otherwise they wouldn't come, they wanted her to hold him and kiss him. She would just vomit, cry and then pass out.

I remember the first time I did this type of volunteering and the way the baby held on to me. It broke my heart. They told me that they had so many babies that most of them weren’t held more than maybe 10 minutes a day because the carers just had too much to do. Even now as a mum when my kid is being clingy I remember how innately those babies craved my warmth and touch and it makes me cry if I dwell too long on it.

❤

I praise God for the volunteers and the pastor that have love an a heart for these babies God bless you guys 🙏

Thanks for your help who takes care of the poor baby, god blessed you all for your kindness help , how a mother can abandon her baby 😢 I'm mother, I can't understand 😢

​@@lesly3905starvation can make a woman give up her children, which is probably way these women gave up their babies. Better than what happens in India and China.

You need to learn something about the culture of Korea. Just because that is the way western culture feels about it, other cultures do not. If you were born and raised in Korea your thoughts would be different.

In some cultures slavery is still allowed but most have seen that it is amoral and evil. If these 'men' refuse to see that their pleasure has consequences then they do not deserve to be regarded with honor as they have none! ​@@LadyLeda2

​@@LadyLeda2it's not about culture, it's about responsability, about being a decent human being

In the US, so many abusive father's only use their parental rights to abuse the mother. When courts get involved, outcomes can be worse for children.

​@@LadyLeda2 "Cultures" are too often an excuse for immoral and abusive behaviors. Same with religion, political ideology, and nationalism. We need to transcend beyond such concepts to evolve as humans.

Were you unable to have them in your early 20s? Was education/work a priority for you then? Could you have gotten married earlier to someone in a good situation? I’m not judging, it’s just that, many people put off having children until it’s way too late. Even if there are physical issues, modern medicine has been able to reverse certain fertility issues in young women…

@@kingrobotnik6950 You don't just 'get married to someone in a good situation' like love and commitment is for fairytales, Nik. Your questions are weird.

@@kingrobotnik6950 is that something you would ask a man? I know plenty of men who have fertility issues…

Many babies need a father

@@kingrobotnik6950 maybe she didn't want them? why do you have to get married to have kids? you don't. also people should not have children if they aren't ready for it, this is how children end up neglected, physically or emotionally. better have them late or not at all than have them when you aren't ready.

it's better if they would have better sex education. as most more still teens the number would drop a lot

@@hieonkd9572 That would be nice but that doesn't solve the issue of what happens once the baby arrives in the world.

@@HadassaMoon144 countries that have good sex education barely have teen pregnancies. they of course still would need help but its better the start looking at what it creates. then just damage control

@@hieonkd9572Korean fertility rate is astonishingly low. They don’t really have an issue with contraceptive availability. This program looks at how horrible the options are once the baby is born under ‘undesirable’ conditions.

@@hieonkd9572That is such a patronizing and false statement.

Don't forget to use condom or contraception for ur legal premarital sex,ur government also should support this program free condom free contraception,not just free sex,so world can't see this "heartbreaking" of ur developed country that pushing u work almost 24h. Oh my the innocent babies😢

As human beings I've come to realize as connecting beings-we are not the only ones interesting enough *.*-that we are meant to care for each other no matter who we are where we live, language etc. I've come to really feel more thoughtful from many sources and even an amazing show called: The Walking Dead." It's not really about zombies it's about PEOPLE! So many guidelines to life and I only keep wishing people were all a family the way the character survive and live. We are supposed to look out for each other like family! It's so simple! We are only human and have beautiful flaws that make us real and needing each other. It's in our nature to connect. Why can't this always happen no matter what the situation is? This is the best of our species, one of our purposes, connecting. To others, nature, other life.🌎🌳

Those babies and mother deserve so much more than this.

​@@SephirothWaifuyess I recently started watching the show too and was stuck by how good it is

You are truly blessed. Your mom n grandma are angels.

My family helped me and my mum. My Aunty was my second mum. I'm happy to know you guys did fine

I have a daughter and son in law who would love to take one of these little blessings

The point is to not encourage single mothers in the first place. Look at Asian citizens even in western cultures, even then they have the lowest out of wedlock rates because it is a cultural expectation of not being a single mother.

@irresponsibleparents3 when it happens should we punish the babies as well? Being a single mother will be punishment enough for the her. Families should definitely help when they can.

This is one of the reason Korea is so developed ( well in a materialistic sense) even though it hasn't been even 80 years since their independence

That's the point, the culture does not encourage single motherhood.

@@irresponsibleparent3 right, as a single mother I think back to what the hell was I thinking when I got pregnant, I was in no place financially and the father was an idiot. Without even thinking I had in the back of my head….welfare. That’s what those programs do, they encourage poor choices

​@@Liminein I feel for you... I really feel for all the mothers who became single mothers not by their choice, but because they didn't know better. For anyone else reading this comment: I saw this documentary years and years ago, and I'm glad it's still being given the attention it deserves. Adults need to be more cautious/careful when it comes to ANYTHING involving having a child. Think about the children and their welfare more. Don't have a child if you're struggling financially, or physically, or mentally. Why would you bring a helpless infant into the world to suffer with you? Even adults who can provide a stable life should consider that many children come out of the womb with disabilities -- are they ready and equipped to handle that? Also, you may be a wonderful person, but what if your partner isn't, and they leave you as a single parent? Would you be able to support yourself and the child? Think through all these things before deciding to have a child, or in some cases, engaging in irresponsible sex.

I am a korean orphan and I can tell you, that is precisely the problem with south Korea. The system cares about saving face by putting up the façade that they too are an OECD 1st world nation, yet do not invest much at all in the social welfare system. They have them in place- to say they too have those benefits, yet its only in surface and in application, it fails miserably.

To add to my post: i was so blessed when my son got off that plane. He has brought me such joy and love. I just wish he would be able to find family members in Korea. It would bring him peace to know the circumstances of his life before he became a member of our family. We are hoping DNA might bring them together.

I watched the baby box and it breaks my heart we’ve been trying to have a baby but no luck . We are planning to adopt a baby in Korea but we don’t know who to contact about the baby box ?

@@sherrillsaligumba4547 It may help you to Google how to adopt a baby from South Korea. Times have changed in the last 40+ years since the original poster said she adopted her son; the procedure may very well be different. Try to find the official sources if possible. If you cannot figure this out even a little bit, you may not be ready for a child. After all, what would you do if your future child tried to ask you a question you didn't know the answer to? Would you ask a random commenter, or help your child figure out an answer to their question? The first step to having a child, whether by birth or adoption, relies entirely on you and your partner to do the work. If you must adopt, you still have to work for that adoption. So work on it.

Google them. All the best. God bless you​@@sherrillsaligumba4547

I don’t understand the concept of bloodlines. It smacks of eugenics to me which I consider toxic. No child should have to spend their life in an orphanage because others in their society are concerned about bloodlines. Any family willing to adopt and love a child should be encouraged to. Period. Especially if there is a social stigma associated with being an orphan.

True. Males nowadays always abandon their children

The title is weird. The baby box is dealing with

And its so freaking sad!!!

@@HKim0072that is why it says “paradox”. Look at the meaning of paradox and you will understand why the baby box is a “paradox” to the low fertility rate.

@@takahiro5528 It's total apples vs oranges. They aren't connected at all. Abortions were illegal back when this was filmed. It's conflating two subject matters that shouldn't be compared and contrasted.

God bless you all

I could just hug you forever, but instead, I will send massive amounts of positive energy to you.

If I was adopted by people like you, I'd never have wanted to be aborted.

God bless you and lots of love to ur kids ❤

God bless you and family ❤

@bevtooth Yup, its called SNAP, State Aid, Benefits, etc it has it's problems!! It isn't a good system. Here's the thing I had 2 children, 10 years apart. I would have had more BUT I couldn't afford more, My home wasn't big enough, etc. People need to bs responsible and families on both sides need to help when "mistakes" are made.

⁠@@JustDiane71easier said than done. Lots of people don’t have family and the system you are talking about aren’t available to them and usually don’t even help in America. They are being responsible and giving the child away when they can’t provide much better than bringing a child onto the street

This is about SKorea not America... tour cment is irrelevant. Stop bringing your country up when irs not even about it...

@@user-uv9zr8qs2cExactly.

I saw another video where Korea has a falling birthrate so why can’t the Government support well the desperate mums so they can bring up their own babies?

I feel your pain and hope your life has sunny days after all, despite all the hurdles. Blessings and love to you 🌻🍀

You are loved. Jesus loves you. God gave you the breath of life for a loving purpose. May His love give you the joy and peace your birth parents could not provide.

Vc é amada, mesmo que não nos conheça. 🫶🏻 😉

The mother that refused to help her daughter bc she herself had been a single mother to the teen mom made my blood boil. I get that filial piety is common, not just in East Asia but even my own background being middle eastern, but some of these teen mothers’ parents (not the women in this video but the parents of these girls that intentionally made an already difficult situation insurmountably worse) don’t deserve the respect or comfortable retirement or reputation they’re forcing these kids to provide for them.

I hope your living a happy life and healing as well

Yeah, i have no sympathy for mothers unless they are rape victims, if you are old enough to have sex then you are as responsible as an adult mother, a baby has to pay for your few moments enjoyment all his/ her life, not many find happy homes

@@Maria-dx1fmwhat about the father? Is only the mother to blame?

@@kymraf4786 how many men are good fathers? To me its not that common ,they don't carry the baby for 9 months, to me they aren't worth putting blsme on, sort of like predators you only expect worse of them, its the female who allowed them ,to me her responsibility is far bigger

@@Maria-dx1fm not worth putting blame on the father? you have internalized misogyny planted deeply in your head. Yr so pathetic and sad for solely blaming the women in this situation smh. I hope you get educated and get a wake up call.

I came here to write essentially the same thing! How scary, painful, and dangerous. And how brave these girls are for having the wherewithal and strength to bring their babies there so soon after birth.

I was thinking the same thing. We also have baby boxes like this in my country (Austria) but they are rarely used because there is the possibility of giving birth anonimously at the hospital. The children will be placed with adoptive parents as soon as they are ready to leave the hospital but the mother still has a few months time to revoke her decision and get her child back. And there is the possibility of letting the adoptive parents know the name of the mother without registering it officially which is a good thing for the child later on I think.

It's heartbreaking. I bet some of them were assaulted. I see some are just kids themselves. The one girl walking around and wearing shorts just a week after giving birth is wild to me.😮

As a Korean woman, unless they were raped, I don't feel sorry for them. That goes for all the floozies in the world who f✓ck around.

So your heart breaks for the poor mother but not for the babies who face the reject and abandonment from the one person who's suppossed to love them unconditionally... Babies know their mom scent and they are aware they are being abandoned.

See what would be great is if people took responsibility before they got pregnant. If you can not be a loving parent make sure you don’t have any.

@@MC-of7owexactly, what in the hell is wrong with ppl in these day and age with all of the contraceptive available all over even over the counter. So in responsible a condom is cheaper then the contraceptive pill to avoid all this burden and heartbreak!

As a 50+ year old, I want to adopt all those young mothers so they can raise their children. It’s just incredibly devastating that governmental and societal pressures keep them apart. Just devastating.

The birth rate is terrible, more people are dying every year than there are births

Sad😢 Why can’t they adopt out the child? As an adopted child myself, I do not understand a society that does not support mothers to chose an adoptive family to place their child with. Are there no Korean families that want to adopt? I love that they encourage the birth mum’s to write a letter to their baby for the future❤ The mother should be able to register the birth independent of anyone else, so the baby knows who it’s birth mother is, even if the baby is adopted by another Korean family.

Honest questions: What would happen if the parents found out? And why do the parents find out when you register a baby?

@@tinajack444I’m guessing it creates new pressure from the parents on the child involving their grandchildren. Parents involved when they aren’t wanted, comments when they aren’t needed, and meddling when un-wanted. This could be completely wrong but it’s just a thought…

Why Americans over there and cuz I don't know what country is it career China or what is it Gilmore babies here in America by abortion than they telling you that part they don't they don't have the first thing that all this about the money they can't afford it that's what they holler people are faking and I'm going to say it those people don't care about no baby that's bullcrap the money that comes with that child children get abused here in America Nabi cares about is the money and if you check up and look it up America has the highest abortion rate there is look it up and I just kids America's the worst country taking we got thousands on the street homeless and I government they don't do nothing to help anybody you have to understand America's a greedy country and if they do something at ternative motive behind it I'm going there learning from you people and I wouldn't trust you just don't know what they are I live in the country that abort babies thousands of babies every year and where the women act like they locate take nothing to protect myself from getting pregnant it's like it's Skittles that ain't nothing to them you just don't know what America really is you hear what they want you to hear

El pre cio que van a pagar es la extinción. Por retrógradas.

Even in your own country it can be a struggle to be a woman. You were lucky to be born with the life you have, regardless of where you were born.

This is a cultural stigma & I do not believe the gov will step up. It is very sad.

Korea is a rich country but failed to provide for the single mom.

It is hard when the social stigma against unmarried single mothers and you realised the family registry that was mentioned a lot in this video....is part of the social fabric of the korean culture. It has every thing to do with inheritance....and registration of school, marriage, employment...enrolment into korean universities.......if the father of those babies do not register.....their out of wedlock babies...the mother cannot do anything legally to seek child support because the baby is not recognised as an official member of society......a bastard child.......meant nothing in the eyes of the law........SK is a patriachal society......and those romanticising marrying their oppa would be in for a rude surprise...

Sad, but the need to protect people at all costs has been generally overlooked by SK society. It has led to a population problem and so the sick cycle continues. It is a norm that lessens the value of a person for the general "productivity" for society and speaks a lot of a culture and the need for change, if that change can be made. SK has a lot of problems and it's people face many types of hardships distinct to itself that are a vicious cycle. But despite all the negatives, I'm glad that there are real volunteers to help those babies in that baby box program. And I read that at least for unregistered babies, they can now be available for adoption since a change in Korea's laws. We have to value people and hear them out, versus the cancel culture we are so well aware of both in our society and theirs. I can't speak for most people, but it seems degrading and devaluing to people, and it has got to stop. People do too much of it and cause too many problems already. We all should make a journey to being more accepting of people and their backgrounds to provide hope, healing, and encouragement to those needing it the most, and by working towards those goals, we can work towards healing and reconciliation and bring good purpose with it to a broken and stubborn world today. Maybe that is what the volunteers are doing. There are a lot of issues with how people are treated but I think learning to increase awareness of these issues can teach us more about what the norms in our culture are and what we allow for our mindsets to work towards, can really make us work towards brighter things.

You were indeed part of the lucy minority. I hope society will be kinder to teen moms in the future because not all families are created equal! Wishing you nothing but joy and happiness, for you and your child ♡

@@GreenGoblin9nah you shouldn’t be supporting teen pregnancy that’s really gross babies don’t need to be having babies!

I was 19, in Australia and had support from both my parents and my government. That little baby is 24 now and such a joy. I couldn't imagine having to have been forced to surrender her. So so heart breaking. Those dear, sweet innocent little babes, and their poor mothers.

I think Eunji went to a single mothers facility….or am probably getting names mixed….

I understand in Korea families worry a lot about what people will think

@@brunycastro9023Duh. Like they Don’t everywhere else

That’s not bravery & it’s not a big “feet” to bring it home. They were Immoral & Got Caught.

I feel so bad for single mothers but Eunji's case is more painful cause her bf and she registered the baby still Eunji's boyfriend fight with Eunji and left her with her baby alone .. May Eunji live happily with child and HER BF hope nobody get such MONSTER BOYFRIEND

White saviors, I bet they love making racist remarks to their adopted children.

Hi, my husband and I would really love to adopt an infant...if you can please advice us the process...we are located here in SoCal USA. Thank you.

😨

Korea need to educate their teen what is the consequence when they have the babies which mean more responsibility

Is also about girls are so naive to be lured by boys by sweet words, words mean nothing where they cant even take care of themselves and their responsibilities

The heck? I'm graduating soon and no woman had a pregnancy in my school ever. It's very uncommon where I live. 13 is heartbreaking.

Where do you live? I just can't imagine children and highschoolers bring pregnant...

They provides nothing that is why they are so many abandoned child, without mentioning that abortion was available only a few years ago (2 years ago) adding this with financial issues that cause low birth it’s like a vicious circle.

The cruel social stigma of being a young unwed mother needs to stop. It’s not helping anyone and it hurts the moms who want to get jobs. Also they feel alienated from family and friends…so sad.

i mean .. look at S. Korea jambore this year.. absolute disaster , this period president is bad . can't really hope anything . no president is 100% clean. but , i hope all our president is at least have sense of proportion .

I really can't understand why the baby cannot be registered. In my place, all babies can get a birth certificate as long as the mother is a citizen, regardless of whether she is married or not. It doesn't matter who the father is.

Revoking the social Stigma would Help even more. Still there are the ones that dont want a Baby and need an easy, but Safe way to give IT up, so keep the boxes around.

There are 1 or 2 shown that do. But that is often the way of the world 😢

Me too

@@bunnicula3221 True! Her baby is so adorable! I hope Hyunmin and the other beautiful box babies get to live a happy life. I hope Hyunmin and his mama can meet someday and be reunited.

@@bunnicula3221 So are adult single mothers able to register their kids without a father?

@@Bubis1907yea they are just more difficult and still the same social discrimination from families and society

@@Bubis1907 Not sure but I do know that it is a men dominated country. Men rule and have all the say in society.

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Her birth mother left her in an alley, but you say she loved her baby so much? I don’t think you understand what love actually is, because that is not love. She left that baby there to die.

@@summm4075 The original comment said "49 years ago". I assume that means she is now 49 years old. If, at 49 years old, you are still spoonfed the lie that "all mothers love their babies", then you are simply not prepared to handle the fact that you have been adopted. No, not all mothers love their babies. That is natural and understandable. Most of these abandoned babies were likely unwanted in the first place. Let me ask you this: Is it kinder to admit that not everyone is ready to be a parent and to be adopted by people who ARE ready, or is it kinder to force children to be traumatized by parents who do not want them and do not love them? Your answer will say all we need to know about how you truly feel. So answer wisely.

Your such a wonderful person and sister! God bless you

please hang in there 💙 in may sound silly, but adopting an animal fills this void that's left

Thank you. I am a man. She died 1 year ago. Yes its true. I am taking care of a dog now to fill the void in my heart.

So nice to know about beautiful souls like you.

maybe if you were born again, she'd take care of you like you did with her. she must have known how much she meant to you. you sound like an awesome bro.

Single moms will always be looked down upon and its somehow their fault. How come they never judge the guy that left them… My mom was a single mom and thats why I never wanted to have any kind of romance with a guy. I fell in love at 19 and got prego just like my mom but I was so scared of judgement from family because I never told anyone I was seeing someone. I went with a friend to get an abortion pill and I was so depressed and miserable the next few days. I cried when i knew I had miscarried. Inside I wish I had told my mom but I knew that if I did, she’d get mad. Since she always talked shit about single mothers when she saw one, even though she was one too.

@@vminhope3040 Thank you for sharing one of the hardest parts of your life. I'm sorry for what you have been through and hope you are healing or on the way to being in a better space mentally. Also I love your user name we need more V, Min, and Hope in this world💜
