Sae Joon Park immigrated to the U.S. from South Korea at 7-years-old and was a U.S. Army veteran with a Purple Heart. He was recently ordered to leave America over a criminal history that he thought he had atoned for and has since returned to South Korea. “I feel pretty out of place here,” he said.

If you want to understand open adoption, it makes sense to start with birth parents—yet studies of them are few. 2+ yrs ago, I began talking w/ birth mothers to try to understand what living in an open adoption is like for them, and what rights or options they might have if challenges were to arise.

Just look at some of these bangers
Coates: And I don't take any joy in saying this, but we sometimes soothe ourselves by pointing out that love, acceptance and warmth are powerful forces. I believe they are. I also believe hate is a powerful force. I believe it's a powerful, unifying force. And I think Charlie
Kirk was a hatemonger. I really need to say this over and over again. I have a politic that rejects violence, that rejects political violence. I take no joy in the
killing of anyone, no matter what they said. But if you ask me what the truth of his life was — and the truth of his public life — I would have to tell you it's hate. I'd have to tell you it is the usage of hate and the harnessing of hate toward
political ends.Coates: Just in terms of bridging gaps and everything, I have a basic level of respect that I accord to everybody. I want to say what I have to say. I don't want to shrink back from it. But I do think, on a basic level, there's a respect that has to be had for people with whom I
disagree. At the same time, I recognize that part of my audience - and I would say an important part of my audience — is people who have never enjoyed that respect. People who, in fact, are subjects of the
kind of hate that Charlie Kirk was harvesting. And I can't ever a) contribute to making them feel like they've been abandoned, and b) I can't ever stand by and watch somebody do that and in the name of unity or whatever, act like that's not
happening. Because there are real consequences.
So, when I read his words toward trans people - Jesus.Coates: What immediately strikes me is if you take the reproductive rights example — which I know it's not necessarily the example that you
would hold out. But I think the problem with musing about that is: Abandoning it is a very real possibility for people who don't have
the option to fly to another state or do X, Y and Z. So I suspect when they hear somebody of your status, even if it's not the example you mean, putting it out in the air, they feel - and it's not just that you're putting it out in the air. You're putting it out
in the air and then saying: I don't necessarily even mean that one. But if you're going to say that, I think you really have to put the
data behind it. I think that's really important.Coates: I guess what I want from you is I want you to take as seriously people who are in the tent and who are vulnerable and afraid. And if you have to convince them of something that's extremely, extremely uncomfortable, or tell them that you're taking a position
that is extremely uncomfortable, I just think you owe them a little
more.
That's all I'm saying, man
