  • check out G.O.A.L. or InKAS, they both help and provide informations on how to find birthparents and how to get to Korea and cheap Hostels for Adoptees..

    message me back for more information?? :)

    I wish you the best of luck

  • Thanks so much for your advice :) I actually need to update my videos. I traveled to Korea this summer & met my biological parents on a "Birthland Tour." InKAS sponsored some of the activities, and I am a member of GOAL. But I always like connecting with people who are a part of the Korean adoptee network. My husband & I definitely hope to return to Korea, maybe even some day for an extended visit.

  • I'm interested in adopting later in life...how do you, as an adoptee feel about adoption?

  • Wow, that's a pretty heavy question. I'm happy to answer it, but I don't have much time at this moment, so I'll get back to you hopefully this weekend...I will say that I have mixed emotions and conflicting thoughts regarding adoption...and if you ever do decide to adopt, I think it would be important for you to do your research first. For anyone who is thinking about adopting, it is important to understand that you're not a hero for doing so...it's not an act of charity...but I'll expand later.

  • Thank you for sharing your story.

  • Thanks for taking the time to check out my story...

see all

    Correct#1 is research. I hope if you people who read this who adopt Koreans to make sure they learn Korean(hangul) at an early age. My godfathers daughter refused to teach them Korean. I felt such anger towards her! Grrrr!

  • you are so eloquent. great video and thanks for sharing.

  • Good luck honey~ :) I'm so happy for you.

  • @kbi35 I was thinking the exact same thing! Although I didn't want to be the first one to say it since it seemed so inappropriate... :)

  • is it too late to donate $10?

  • Damn shes fine.
