Rick Smolan : The story of a girl

Rick Smolan TED 2007
The story of a girl  (transcript)
Summary
I was sorry that I said that there is nothing to do for us to the story. Even if governments in the countries do not do anything, we can help a lot of children in the world.
Those are that l think to know about an adoption and to think about children after they were born.

It's because this is a story about a young Amerasian girl. It means children who had been fathered by American GIs all over Southeast Asia and then abandoned. There seem to be 40,000 children all over Asia. Probably, their fathers don't know that they became fathers.

And then, it's difficult for three people who are children, a person who grows the child and a person who becomes a parent for the child to understand about an adoption.

However, when foster parents think about the future of orphanages when orphanages have confidence to be happy, and when new parents think that it’s important to accept and not to erase the history of the orphanages, lives of all of them must be changed.

Although lives go on when nothing special happened, there is a big chance for everyone.
