But Kim was quick to drop the idea once mummager, Kris Jenner controversially accused her of treating adoption like a shopping spree, the Daily Mail said. She was also told by the manager of the resort they were staying in that, "Adopting children from Thailand is very, very difficult", so naturally she left it. The Daily Mail said that Pink, who shares a dorm with five other girls at the Home and Life Foundation in Phang Nga, was pulled aside by the home's founder, Bhudit Maneejak, 35, and told about the adoption. "When I found out she wanted to adopt me, I was shaking. I was so excited. It would be such a change of life for me," said Pink, whose real name is Laddawan Tong-Keaw. "When she came here, it seemed as if I was the first one she looked at and smiled at. We had a connection straightaway.

Admitting she has no idea who Kim was when she arrived, Pink said, "I thought she was lovely and I really enjoyed meeting her - and I loved being on TV too." On Camera, Kim also said she was really impressed with how happy PInk and the other kids were. "I grew up with a family that had such a strong family bond and connection that it just makes me so sad that these kids don't have that family element," she said. But it turns out Pink does have a family and isn't actually an orphan. Pink was sent to the orphanage after her family fell upon hard times following the 2004 tsunami.

Pink's mother, Rose, lives in a nearby village with her little brother and comes to see her every day. When Pink told her mother that Kim wanted to adopt her she said was proud that a "famous lady" wanted to adopt her daughter. "But at the same time I didn't want her to go away with the Kardashian family." "She is only young and I would miss her very much." Pink also considers the other children in the orphanage as her family.

"The other children here are like brothers and sisters to me and I couldn't leave them behind. They are my family and I couldn't just go away and leave them." Besides, Pink said, she has plans of her own. "I want to help my country," she said. "I want people to come and learn about Thailand and understand more about my country. That is why I am thinking of being a tour guide." In the end, "Everyone wants to have a different or a better life, I suppose," the teen told the Daily Mail. "But when I thought about it, I realised it wouldn't be good for me, because I would have to leave so much behind. I wasn't ready for that."
