24.01.2022 A worthwhile read.

22.01.2022 So important for adoptees to connect with their origins.

20.01.2022 The first story for our series, Adoptees of Korea: Stories, comes from Kara DeLost, a Korean American adoptee. She tells her story about her first few times v...isiting Korea and understanding and coming to terms with the intersections of her Korean, American, and adoptee identity. "...I have slowly learned to own my adoptee status and accept that I’ll always be a foreigner there. And that doesn’t mean that I’m any less Korean than the people living there, it just means we’re different."

15.01.2022 Having fun making our own Kimchi.

14.01.2022 Fingers crossed that by November, overseas travel will be safe and available

14.01.2022 An amazing lady. Changing lives with love and care.

13.01.2022 Believe it or not I hesitated before deciding to share this. To be ‘pro-adoption’ is not politically correct anymore, and as an adoptive parent I do my best to understand the many complex issues involved in identity, belonging and self, and the challenges adoptees face. But to say these two children- and others who still suffer in similar situations - are best left with their biological family is beyond comprehension. I agree that more support needs to be available when the ...biological family is struggling to cope, but we must always - always - put the safety and well-being of the child first and last. To put aside the options of foster, permanent care or adoption for these children due to the prevailing political climate surrounding adoption is unforgivable. I am a proud adoptive parent with two gorgeous sons. Adoption may not always be the right answer, but it deserves to be considered as a part of the solution when other options are clearly failing.

03.01.2022 In honour of all mothers this Sunday

02.01.2022 It is estimated over 100,000 Korean children were orphaned or displaced during the Korean War, separated from their parents by death, geography and poverty. The...y were cared for and unofficially adopted as mascots, houseboys and washboys by United Nations soldiers who provided for them while they were stationed in the country. Australians in the army, air force and navy regularly interacted with Korean civilians and became deeply concerned by the plight of the children. They sponsored orphanages in Seoul, gave up their rations, and held parties for children in villages near their camps and bases.
