Mission and Vision
Since the 1950’s, nearly 200,000 Korean children have been sent overseas to be adopted. In recent years, adult adoptees are returning to Korea in large numbers to search for their birth families, seek connection to Korean identity, and learn about the language and culture. Often they are simply here for the opportunity to work and live in the country of their birth. While many adoptees make this journey successfully, most still experience challenges and barriers while navigating Korean society.
