Many Korean children and children of other nationalities have been adopted by U.S. Americans. Generally, these children were reared in homes where the parents were not of the nationality of the adopted child. Sometimes after the children become adults, they return to their native country to learn about people of their own ethnic heritage. Would language differences pose a problem? What cultural problems would these children have?
Solution
No, I do not think that the language differences will pose a problem to them because they are just visiting their native country(i.e.,Korea for just learning about the their culture,experience their heritage.So,they are a kind of visitors to their very own country.Only appearance - wise they are similar to the people in their native country but they differ in terms of food habits,lifestyle,language,skills,cultural exposure,mindset etc.,
Taking all these differences into consideration,it should not become a problem as they are temporarily visiting their native country with a mindset / like a tourist.
They would feel that Language is posing a problem (i.e., language barrier)only when they need to talk / communicate with their near and dear / ancestors .It is because the language also plays a role in having an emotional connect.
As said in the above paragraph,there would be Cultural problems.They new adults will not know their family and country history;are not aware of their traditions of their origin country and their communities so they will not be able to find pride / appreciate / be proud of their country of origin.
Hope this solution helps! Please comment in case of any further clarifications are required
