  1. 진실과화해를위한입양인모임(TRACK) TRACK is Truth and Reconciliation for the Adoption Community of Korea. TRACK is a group of internationally adopted Koreans and their friends and families based in Seoul.

Truth and Reconciliation for the Adoption  Community of Korea

  2. The Adoption Program As many as 200,000 South Korean children have been sent to 15 Western countries since 1953. That means 1 million parents and grandparents have been separated from a child or grandchild. South Korea is the oldest mass-adoption program in the world, and it continues even today, with over 1,000 children sent overseas every year.

  3. Building Our Society Many adoptees now want to participate in Korean society, even if they are not in contact with their Korean families. We envision a world where the adoption community and Korean society have a mutual understanding allowing them to heal and create a bright collective future.
