South Korean Adopted At Age 3 Is To Be Deported Nearly 40 Years Later
npr:
Adam Crapser was brought to the United States when he was 3, to start a new life — new parents, new culture, new country.
But his adoptive parents didn’t complete his citizenship papers. Then they abandoned him to the foster care system.
And now, as a 41-year-old father of four, he’s being deported. Despite his appeals for help, he has been ordered to be sent back to South Korea, a country The Associated Press describes as “completely alien to him.”
This is ridiculous. I’m assuming he doesn’t even speak any Korean. Exceptions should be made in this man’s case.
