I mean… language and culture… not the actually underlying ability to love, but the “vibe” of the family dynamics…

Okay so I was reflecting on a bunch of stuff I read online…

So basically:

If:

American family adopts kid from China, at first the kid stuggle with English but then eventually learns it to communicate with family.

Meanwhile.

An immigrant family from China at first struggle with the outside world while being very close to parents (I mean they are the last part of the home of before, the outside world is all foreign)

Then as the kid grows up, learns more words and comcept in English…

But the vocabulary for Chinese never grows (for the most part)

Its basically the similar language attrition as the adoptee scenario (with a caveat of the language being slightly maintained through home usage), so they eventually drift away from Chinese to English…

But family still use Chinese…

So yea the language barrier eventually grows…

Meanwhile the adoptee scenario, the language barrier is eventually broken…
