Domestic Adoptee Solidarity (국내입양인연대)
While there have been groups and organizations of overseas adoptees since 1986, the first group of domestically adopted persons (Koreans adopting Koreans) in South Korea came together in 2019 to form Domestic Adoptee Solidarity (국내입양인연대). In 2020, Domestic Adoptee Solidarity produced a video series of interviews with adoptees of different ages. Their hope for the video series is to give support and encouragement to fellow adoptees.
To create more understanding between the overseas adoptee and domestic adoptee communities, IbyangIN is partnering with Domestic Adoptee Solidarity by raising money and translating the series in English, and eventually other languages. Please help strengthen this connection between our communities by making a donation to translate the remaining 4 videos. “Domestic Adoptee Solidarity is engaged in activities to establish the rights and identity of adoptees and to spread awareness of adoption. We provide guidance/support for finding biological families through the Missing Child Search Center of the National Police Agency, and guidance/support for finding biological families through DNA sample collection.” |

국내입양인연대 Quotes from Min Young ChanWHY make these videos?
입양과 입양인에게 드리워져 있는 편견을 해소할수 있는 방법이 무엇일까 고민하다가 입양인 당사자들의 목소리를 통해 당사자의 경험을 직접 전달하면 좋겠다고 생각하여 만들게 되었습니다. I was thinking about how to resolve the prejudices cast on adoption and adoptees, and I thought that it would be good to directly convey the experiences of the adoptees through the voices of the adoptees. WHAT you hope to achieve
세대별 입양인의 경험을 당사자의 목소리를 통해서 직접 듣고 입양가족과 예비입양부모가 입양인이 느낀 또는 느끼게될 감정을 충분하게 공감할수 있었으면 합니다. 이러한 과정을 통하여 입양을 실천하는것에서 입양이 끝나는것이 아니고, 입양인의 전생애에 깊은 영향을 미치는것임을 이해하면 좋겠습니다. I hope that the adoptive family and prospective adoptive parents can fully empathize with the feelings the adoptee feels or will feel by hearing the experiences of adoptees by generation directly through the voices of the parties involved. Through this process, I hope you understand that adoption does not end with practicing adoption, but has a profound impact on the adoptee's entire life. Vertical Divider
