Help Victims:

We need your support in ensuring that this tragic history is never repeated. Korean Adoptees Worldwide is actively educating the public about adoption trafficking and fighting for justice. You can support our efforts in multiple ways:

  1. Purchase or share our anthology, The “Unknown” Culture Club: Korean Adoptees, Then and Now, published by Korean Adoptees Worldwide. This anthology shares the voices and stories of Korean adoptees, giving insight into the long-lasting effects of international adoption and the fight to reclaim our identities.
  2. Donate to Against Child Trafficking USA. Your donations will help further our mission to expose the truth behind international adoption and prevent future generations from suffering the same fate.
  3. Join the Special Request to Stop International Adoptions. Sign the document to the Korean government to stop Intercountry Adoptions from Korea 70 years after the Korean War ended. Email ACTUSA@riseup.net with your logo to show you are in!
  4. Would you love to know more about adoption? Read Korean Adoptees Worldwide’s adoption book collection.

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.
