According to the Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs, for 6 years, from 2003 to 2008, the number of domestic adopted handicapped children was only 135. However, 3,428 handicapped children were adopted in foreign countries, which is over 25.4 times higher than Korea. These days, although social recognition about adoption has improved, people still avoid adopting children with disabilities. Severely handicapped children are difficult to be adopted. It is because Koreans consider particular conditions, such as children¡¯s blood type and the background of their real parents. | |

Depression is frequently expressed as ¡°a cold of the mind.¡± That means that this illness is easy to catch, and it is also easily cured, like a cold. However, depression patients may kill themselves if they do not get proper treatment. Recently, the proportion of depression patients has increased. Therefore, reports by the press about incidents related to depression have also increased. For these reasons, depression is no longer an illness unaccustomed to the masses. This depression causes many social problems. | |
