Kim Keejung was adopted from Holt International Children Services. Adopted from Holt? Did you know there is a request for an investigation into adoptions from Holt and KSS? Adoption profiteers have a long history of labeling children as orphans in order to process them for international adoption. Read here for more information.
“Adoptive parents and families are known to be harmonious and loving, but many are not. Such was the case with Kim Ki-jeong’s family. My parents were alcoholics and irresponsible. Although she loved her adopted son, her family was broken, and Ki-jung was alone again. He moved his life to the country that gave birth to him, but he had to be told that he was a foreigner. Now let’s listen to his story that he is happily raising a family in England and writing his story as a book.” Looking for Mom.

The rise of international adoption has come at a cost, and it’s important to acknowledge the aftermath on the people most impacted: children, families, and communities. Rare Adoption Books for Adults by Rev. Dr. Janine Vance provides readers with a deeper understanding of the additional burdens adopted people faced yesterday, around the world, and still today.
"Great works of literary art from the Korean Adopted Community that form a collage of life experiences and perceptions, in the form of stories, micro biographies and poetry. Very well written and upholstered entries from all participants. This is a great compendium to which the reader can dip in and out of. Good for long and short journeys by bus, car, train, plane. Take as little or as much ad you want. Highly recommended."
