For example, if a white american couple adopts a baby from Korea --when he is older, should they teach the child about his "native" culture? Why/why not? I mean, aside from biology, he's no more Korean than they are.
How about infants adopted from countries where there isn't such a visible physical difference?
I actually am asking this honestly, so please, I would appreciate calm answers explaining why/why not. The way I was looking at it, isn't it possible that it would make the child feel MORE separated from his adopted family? As if somehow, he's "different" and not really part of the family? For example, you would raise your own children to follow your own traditions --so by teaching your adopted child different traditions, you're not treating it the same as your own biological children. Isn't it possible that this would make the child feel set apart?
