Vice, was violence foreign to his victims, or are you asserting that they welcomed the domestic violence? They should have kept calm, with no reason to be alarmed, because it's just part and parcel of being anywhere near him? They should have been "used" to it, so it's no longer foreign? Were his weapons charges for guns that he was going to use on foreigners, or just for use against close friends and adopted family? Would a foreign object made of lead be assimilated well by human flesh and bone? Do you know of anyone willing to demonstrate the concept of "foreign" using any of the examples above? Were his assaults foreign to his victims, or just the way he's used to greeting people? Vice, your hypocrisy is completely foreign to the first thought for his victims. "Undocumented" is the LEAST of HIS problems. HIS....as in created by, propagated and executed by, continued and repeated by HIM, least of all which is doing ALL this shit, and STILL expect his background would be ignored. We should worry for South Korea, and this guy's future "foreign" victims.

So, when he was 3 and didn't know english it was up to him to know what immigration paperwork to submit? The first family who adopted him and gave him up 6 years later or the organization who facilitated his adoption should have done the paperwork properly. He was shuffled around and ABUSED. How was it his fault shity adults didn't submit the proper paperwork when he was 3? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CASES AREN'T LOOKED INTO. And we treat everyone like trash wholesale. This is not right! Also, why would he have had any inclination that the paperwork wasn't done properly? I think we all assume adopted or not that the adults in our early lives filed all necessary paperwork for us correctly. Examples being brith certificate, social security numbers, custody paperwork, etc... When you were 3 did you know to ask your parents if they had filled all your crucial paperwork correctly?

Adam seems to never have had the fair end of the stick but he came to this country in as much legal precedence as one could from being adopted.

I think he has a case for appeal which could be taken all the way to the US Supreme Court..the American public needs to get behind him in large numbers, make their voices heard to the President, and the wheels of justice will turn for Adam and his family.

It shows serious failings in the adoptive care system in America and the program US had setup with South Korea due to the US Korean war leaving many children without parents. He should have been properly registered as a US citizen from the very start and his adoptive parents monitored and his well-being and welfare properly monitered by the US authorities. Instead, he was left in an appalling abusive home and not registered as a citizen which was a legal duty of his adoptive parents. There are a lot of people unfortunately who abused (and still abuse) the foster-care system in US by taking in lots of children to get money from the government. They're not fit to be parents and often abuse the children as in this case. They basically use children as commodities to get free money and have no interest in the well-being of the children or in parenting.

once i heard they hadn't done the paperwork I knew it was intentional if the family ended up not wanting to keep the child, as if Adam was not a human to them. If someone is adopting and all the paperwork to maintain stability (aka citizenship) is not completed that should be seen as a red flag. During an international adoption process if feels intentional to "forget" to fill out citizenship. It's almost like the family had an idea of what they wanted but were unwilling to accept the individuality of Adam/any other kid they would have gotten so they wanted a back up plan.

That is ultimately likely what caused him to have problems in adulthood and commit the felonies that got him deported.

" I could go on to basically quote your entire post, but that would be redundant. DUDE... The guy was "adopted" and literally "taken" from South Korea to the good ole US of A at the age of like two against his will by an "American" family.... Now think about this... I mean this sincerely and put YOURSELF in his shoes while I drop this angle to examine this guys situation for a minute..... At two when he was adopted by this American family and then they put him in foster care, do you really think it's his fault as a minor he didn't fill out the "proper" immigration documents while he was a kid? Why is the onus on him? Even as an adult? Common sense would reason that the family that adopted him, regardless they put him in foster care, have to take the hit for not filling out his "immigration status" in America after they literally "adopted" the small child and took him here to the states. It's not like he crossed the southern border illegally through Mexico. He literally was taken against his will and knowledge, hence he was like 2 or 3 yrs old and it's his fault the US government would make a 2-3 year old exempt from these immigration laws considering he "crossed the border" legally since he was "legally" adopted by US citizens and he was too young to make decisions for himself CLEARLY. The onus should be on the "original" US family that adopted him and removed him from his native country. That's crazy talk if you think his situation is his fault. Why don't you go move to Peru or India since you say... "I'm sure it's not so bad in South Korea. He probably loves it now." The dude is American and not Korean. He doesn't even speak Korean. Read what you said and my reply and really put yourself in his shoes. I'm not mad at you, but think your logic is twisted regardless of the written law considering every detail about this unique case is and it's not a normal case. You seriously sound spineless. The guy is American. The family that adopted him should be the ones in trouble and not this poor guy (i.e. he was abused by them as a small kid and it's his fault per written law).

All immigration rules cannot be used against this man for that he is not an immigrant. He didn't migrate to the US, he was brought to the US. It's not like Adam forged his visa or crossed the border illegally. He was brought to the states, probably against his will, and then got thrown from one foster family to another and dumped. Almost 40 years later, the time where he finally had a loving family and a stable home, America kicked him out and again against his will. It's almost like the adopters brought him to ruin his life, and when he got close to ''the American Dream'' the US decided to ruin Adam's life more.

My ex-husband was almost deported in the mid-nineties after serving 16 years years in the US Army. He had a green card and lost it because apparently you cannot be out of the country for more than three years at a time. He was deployed several times and could not take leave to come back to the states, therefore forfeiting his greencard in the process. The only reason he didn’t get deported is because we got married. Had both just got out of the military, and we were living together and planning on getting married anyway, so we just move the wedding up quite a bit.

I thought if you have served in the US military (even as a non-citizen) because you take an oath of allegiance to the United States of America, that's the same as becoming an American citizen. Elvis Presley's manager Colonel Tom Parker was from Netherlands and never legally registered as an American citizen, but served in the US military. After Elvis death, he found himself in court over a legal wrangle relating to an earnings contract with the Elvis Presley estate which Elvis's family challenged and it also involved federal income tax. And Parker used as his legal defence, that because he was not a legal US citizen, some US laws didn't apply to him. However, the Presley estate attorney's argued that since he had served in the US Navy and had taken an oath of allegiance to the United States of America, it was the same as becoming a US citizen. I'm not 100% sure it does now and think you do have go through the legal process of becoming a naturalised American citizen by filing the paperwork and getting formally accepted as a US citizen. Nevertheless, the fact Parker took the oath and served in the US military did definitely have some legal bearing on the lawsuit as I recall in federal court, at least at that time in the early 1980s.

And why could he not have stayed with the Foster Mother, the second person? And the fact that children growing up in an abusive household will generally act the same as adults.

He was a victim of his adoptive families neglect. If there was a true justice system, the initial adoptive paperwork would have been filed and he would have become a US citizen. Insult was added to injustice when he was convicted of a crime for trying to get his only belongings from an abusive family. For those that said he knew since he was 18, well his adoptive family knew before that and didn't fix it. In addition, what 18 yo knows how to navigate the legal maze around immigration law. I agree with Clay Girl.

I was 9 years of age, adopted from Holts in Korea to family with 5 of own kids. I was very fortunate to be adopted to a wonderful family, especially my dad who treated me as if I was no different than his own blood children. When I see these stories, it really breaks my heart with sadness for the children and anger towards the abusive adoptive parents.

I was adopted too, from “love the children.” Stories like this hit so hard bc I’m truly no different from Adam. I was just luckier than him, and that makes me really emotional bc luck is not something that I feel good about in this case. Anyone could fall on the other side of that and you have no choice in it. I’m praying for him and hoping that he is OK right now, right this minute. I’m going to see if he has a site or something. 🙁

If u want an example of a nation with no government look at war torn natikns with ongoing civil war. Even in those lawless nations there are warlords that command their troops and moderate their actions in order to have a semblance of order in their ranks and even then they still use a type of currency in exchange for goods like minerals and resources. JUST LIKE MONEY THAT WE USE.
