Adoption can be a beautiful way to become a family. But for many birth parents, the process leaves a permanent hole in their hearts. While so many people are willing to donate to fundraisers for parents who would like to adopt children, few would give that same money to a destitute family, whose only option for survival is to give their babies up for adoption.
This 90-year-old man is searching for his three sons, who he was told were adopted by a family in France. The eldest child would be about 51 years old now. Here’s hoping that some of you will share this post and help this gentleman find some peace before he dies.
A man from Busan, nearly 90 years old, deaf, and barely able to walk, came across the country to KoRoot for DNA testing on Thursday. He and his caretaker asked us to spread this information throughout the internet. He is looking for his three sons sent by Holt to France. The father migrated from North Korea to South Korea and made his family in the South, but after his wife died, he couldn’t take care of the children because he had no family in the South to help him care for the children. For years, he has been keeping a lengthy notebook of all the things he wants to tell his sons. We photographed every page. The children are all properly registered on his family register as well. He went to Holt in 2005 and also inquired on Thursday. Of course, they are not giving him any information except that the three sons went to the same family in France. The sons were born in 1965, 1968, and 1969. We have much, much more information, but hopefully this will be enough for the three to recognize themselves. Please contact 325KAMRA to DNA test to see if you have the right DNA for this man, or upload your own results that you may have already gotten toGEDmatch.com to see if you have a match. 325Kamra – Reuniting families through DNA Translation by any French-speaking friends is appreciated.

I thought along with Fanfic Rec Day it’d be a good idea to start up an ask meme for writers so they can gush about writing and words and everyone can have a platform to ask writers some burning questions about their work.

saying “you are a burden on society” is just such a weird framing of priorities
It’s like saying “wow, think how much better gas mileage your car would get if you weren’t sitting in it” or “think how dry that umbrella would be if you weren’t holding it in between you and the rainstorm”.
the things we create? they’re for us. they are meant to carry us. they are meant to protect us. we are meant to hold them up to keep us dry.
i want to know more about charlie weasley’s friends. who the hell agrees to SMUGGLE A DRAGON across international borders on two days notice? who are these people that are willing to accept a dragon in a crate from a couple of small children, no questions asked? i need to know more, tell me about the antics of these mysterious flying dragon smugglers.
ESPCAD.
European Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Against Dragons.
Like PETA but with less grossness and more punk activism. And fire breathing dragons so like no one really fux with ‘em.
speaking as a biologist, i can guarantee i would show up without question to smuggle an endangered species that would otherwise be destroyed across national borders to a sanctuary on two days’ notice.
like. if a small child showed me a box containing a juvenile alligator snapping turtle and was like “you need to smuggle this across the continent to kansas or else it will be destroyed” i would be like “sure, would you like me to send you a postcard, small child”
i cant believe this generation’s ghostbusters is god’s apology to the world for the entire film industry ….. i cant believe we have a black female ghostbuster ….. i cant believe we have strong female characters that were not cast bc they’re ~conventionally attractive~ but just bc they’re funny as hell …. i can’t believe the Young Hot One™ is a lesbian character and that the cast is out there telling men not to make inappropriate comments about her actress bc she’s a lesbian as well …. i can’t believe this awesome movie doubles as the single most hated thing by straight men in 2016 do you have any idea how much of a bonus that is for me???? loving things straight men cry about was the reason i was put on this earth this entire movie is too good for me i dont deserve it
As you walk along the Thames pondering what Brexit will mean for you and your family, a soaking wet woman walks up a set of stairs from the river, hands you a package and tells you “Sort it out, please!” before vanishing around a corner. You open the package to find Excalibur.
Hahahaha, hoooooly shit this is a great prompt.
Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords are STILL not a good basis for a system of government. It doesn’t change if she’s lying in a river!
Look, with our leadership right now, it couldn’t make things any worse.
Oh, but you can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.
Indeed, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away.
“Since Paul Feig’s all-female reboot of the 1984 classic was announced, a small yet vocal group of angry misogynists have derailed the film’s rollout, spamming social media and launching a coordinated effort to make its trailer the most disliked in YouTube history. These crackpots are not representative of the larger viewing public, but they do represent a more extreme version of the ingrained sexism in Hollywood. As we know from experience, if Ghostbusters flops, one narrative will engulf all others, like a tidal wave of ectoplasmic slime smothering all rational voices: Women movies bad! Women no funny! Women box-office kryptonite! Ain’t no bitches gonna hunt no ghosts!
Ghostbusters faces an uphill battle to be considered a success. The film cost $144 million, pricey for a comedy, so the studio will be hoping for a $50 million opening weekend (with low-end predictions around $39 million to $41 million). Opening weekend shapes the story about a film’s fate, which can be a self-fulfilling prophecy when it comes to drawing more viewers in down the road. While some films gain “legs” over time, usually by favorable word of mouth, Ghostbusters will be expected to start strong, given the fact that it’s part of a much-hyped franchise with major brand recognition. If the numbers are middling come Monday, it may be too late.
This wouldn’t matter much if the only thing at stake was Ghostbusterssequels. But female-led blockbusters in Hollywood are still such a rarity, and the view that audiences won’t watch movies helmed by women so pervasive, that every female-led film is seen as a litmus test for every future one. (Particularly a major action-comedy tentpole like this one.) IfGhostbusters flops, nobody will point to the weak script or an excessive budget. They’ll look to the one factor that deviates from the Hollywood norm: the gender of the stars fronting it.”
