From Dillon International:
Specializing in international adoption since 1972, Dillon International has been offering birth land tours since 1989. Birth land tours are such a valuable experience for both adoptees and their loved ones. Each of our tours are led by experienced adoption social workers, some of whom are adoptive parents as well. Our professional tour staff is available from start to finish providing all the resources and orientation adoptees and their families need to prepare for their journey. We offer two tours to Korea each summer. This year, our Adult Adoptee Tour is June 13-22 and our Family Tour is June 26-July 7. http://www.dillonadopt.com/Tours-Korea.htm
Flyer for the tours is also attached. |

My name is Danielle Godon, and I am pursuing my M.A. in psychology at Mount Holyoke College. I would like to invite you to participate in a study of Korean adoptees that focuses on sense of belonging to one’s birth and adoptive groups.
Being a Korean adoptee myself, I know what it is like to look one way, but sometimes feel another way. For my thesis, I am exploring how we navigate between feelings of similarity and difference. Since past studies have indicated some Korean adoptees feel like outsiders amongst both White people and Korean people, I hope to discover factors that facilitate positive interpretations of difference
I am looking for people who were adopted from Korea, by a White parent or parents, to participate in an online survey that takes about 30 minutes to complete. To compensate you for your time, at the end of the survey, you will have the option to be entered into three raffles for $50 each. If you are interested in taking the survey, please click the link below.
Thank you very much for considering my request. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to email me (godon22d@mtholyoke.edu), or my advisor, Patricia Ramsey (pramsey@mtholyoke.edu). If you have friends who might be willing to complete this survey, please send them the link!
Thank you!
Danielle Godon

To my fellow Korean Adoptees,
I am continuing my exploration into the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality for Asian adoptees. As a Korean adoptee and Korean adoption researcher I seek to learn more about how transracial adoptees make sense of race and gender, and how that plays out with regard to sexuality and mate selection.
I am looking for Asian adult adoptees (18 years of over) to participate by completing an on-line confidential survey at http://surveytool.unlv.edu//TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=n2KH998K
If you should have any questions about this request, please feel free to contact at Kathleen.bergquist@unlv.edu. |

The Nationality Law Revision was passed on 2010/04/21 by the Korean National Assembly. It will give Korean adoptees the right to re-gain their Korean nationality in addition to their adoptive nationality. The revised law will go into effect as per 1st January 2011. After the launch in fall 2007 G.O.A.'L's "Dual Citizenship Campaign" comes to a successful end by having the law revision passed. G.O.A.'L is grateful to all those who participated from the very beginning and supported this campaign by joining our worldwide signature collection, by donating money or by participating in our surveys and by giving important advice. G.O.A.'L would like to especially thank Professor Lee Chul-Woo from Yonsei University who served as a special advisor to our campaign. Myriam Cransac who spent much of her time designing the entire campaign, the Ministry of Justice who always supported our cause and to all the congressmen who approved this bill. We will also discuss all regulations and procedures with the Ministry of Justice in order to get all the answers before the law goes into effect. We are certain many among you will have questions. Please keep following the information either on our G.O.A.'L Facebook group or also on our homepage at http://www.goal.or.kr On behalf of G.O.A.'L Congressman Kim Chung-Hwan, who is a member of G.O.A.'L's Board of Directors, submitted also a proposed law amendment to the National Assembly in order to void military service for those Korean adoptees who re-gain their Korean nationality. If the proposed law change is passed, Korean adoptees would not have to serve in the Korean military service. At a seminar at the National Assembly on 23rd April 2010 organized by Congressman Kim Sung Gon, also a member of G.O.A.'L's Board of Directors, various government officials confirmed that this proposal will most likely be passed, too. Giving Korean adoptees dual citizenship is a fundamental step in the improvement of adoptee rights. This step will certainly have an global impact on international adoptees from other countries. What started as just a dream has finally materialized! G.O.A.'L will certainly continue to report on the development on dual citizenship and adoptee rights. If you'd like to contribute to our cause, please visit our homepage. We have an additional page on our Dual Citizenship Campaign at: http://goal.or.kr/eng/?slms=room&lsms=1&sl=6&ls=17 In case you have questions please contact our office. Best regards Dae-won Wenger Board of Directors http://www.goal.or.kr daewon.wenger@gmail.com http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2234751557 |
