One thing about Thailand is that adopting is very hard specially to foreigners. After the tsunami, many children were trafficked and many children were "adopted" and then served as sort of slaves, sold, prostitution, etc. Therefore now, the adopting system is much much more difficult and prefer to adopt to Thai people instead of foreigners. Its disgusting to think that after those children went through so much, horrible people played the part as they were "helping" them but rather used them for own benefit. What a nightmare.....
