The primary purpose of the organization is to foster cultural unity and provide opportunities and assistance to learn about Korean culture and history, and the family heritages and backgrounds of Korean adoptees and their families.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
The organization is committed to providing adult adoptees with meaningful opportunities to explore their heritage, conduct personal research, and deepen their understanding of their identities by fostering connections with Korean individuals and communities.In collaboration with Northwestern University and Mu Films, the organization co-hosted Korean Adoption and Its Global Legacies: 70 Years and Beyond, a free conference held on April 13-14 in Chicago, IL. This event brought together a diverse and remarkable group of Korean adoptees and allies for a weekend of insightful dialogue and learning.Featuring scholars, activists, adopted individuals, first families, journalists, and filmmakers, the conference speakers presented new perspectives that challenge and expand our understanding of adoptions origins within the context of war and militarism. They also examined the present-day impact of South Koreas industrialized adoption practices on adopted Koreans and their first families.-$85,751
