ADOPTEES TELL THEIR STORIES

Mark your calendars--

The International Adoptive Families of SWMO will host a documentary and discussion on the perceptives of adoption.

6:30 pm
Saturday May 19, 2007
Dale Street Methodist Church
1232 E Dale Street

The documentary is a thought-provoking one--featuring several adult adoptees from Korea and India--who talk about their experiences growing up in America. It addresses some key issues of transracial and transnational adoption. The group will view the documentary then discuss. Childcare and refreshments will be provided.

Adoption Talk!

The International Adoptive Families of SWMO has asked me to share some of my personal stories concerning my adoption. They asked me to talk about my visits to South Korea and my meetings with my birth family. I encourage adoptive families to go--not for me--but to meet other adoptive families.

We're meeting tonight (Sat. Nov. 18) at 6:30pm at the Pathways Methodist Church on Dale Street in Springfield, MO. (Formerly the Dale Street Church)

The above picture is me. Notice I didn't have a name, but a number. A social worker named me Hyun Sook Park, sometime after this picture was taken.
