Dutch Korean artist's project: The Mother Mountain Institute of Sara Sejin Chang
Dutch Korean artist's project: The Mother Mountain Institute of Sara Sejin Chang
Korean adoptee artists have garnered attention in the western countries where they live, but their works remain relatively unfamiliar to people in their country of origin. This obscurity isn't due to a lack of effort on the part of the adoptees. Despite their attempts to engage with Korean society, Koreans have yet to reciprocate in kind.

Adoptee's journey tracing her mother, origin and heritage
Adoptee's journey tracing her mother, origin and heritage
I feel the weight of knowing that I represent one out of hundreds of thousands of Koreans who were sent overseas through international adoption. I'm an independent film director and I have spent most of my adult life trying to find my way back to Korea to look for profound answers to my origin and heritage.

Today's inter-country adoption system is not fit for purpose
Today's inter-country adoption system is not fit for purpose
I will first comment on where we are today in terms of inter-country adoption (ICA) practice at the global level, then consider our experience of the outcomes of a suspension of ICAs, and finally - in all modesty as an outsider - offer some thoughts on what the path forward for Korea might be.

Gratefulness in the eyes of an adoptee
Gratefulness in the eyes of an adoptee
The word “grateful” is such a small word but it can carry a significant impact. Being “grateful” for something is supposed to have a positive effect, however, society has caused me to resent the word. Adoptees tend to hear this term from strangers, acquaintances, extended family members, sometimes even their adoptive parents (mine excluded).

Court submission on responsibility to verify acquisition of citizenship of inter-country adoptees (Part 3)
Question: Does the government of the Republic of Korea owe a responsibility to adoptees to confirm whether citizenship in the receiving country was obtained after inter-country adoption?

Court submission on the 'orphan-making' process (Part 2)
In the plaintiff's case, his inter-country adoption was processed through the creation of an “abandoned child” family register, even though the agency knew and had information about his biological mother. What is the process of adopting through the “Family Registration for Orphans,” and why has it become a customary practice of adoption between the Republic of Korea and the U...

Some of the articles of this series will dedicate space to parts of the Amicus Brief submitted to the Korean Court by Dr. Lee Kyung-eun. The Amicus Brief was written as a Q&A to assist the judges in understanding the historic meaning of this case.

Although the plaintiff's story garnered worldwide media attention, his lawsuit represe...

Dialogues with Adoptees: Let's make adoptees' rights mainstream
In early summer of 2021, I sat with The Korea Times' digital content editor. We had met on the terrace of a small cafe in Seoul to discuss starting a new column series. That warm and sunny day stands out because it was the first moment this series' journey began.
