After the Korean War, at least 200,000 people were adopted overseas for various reasons. During a post-war state, overseas adoption was considered “a blessing.” Currently, many overseas adoptees are visiting the land where they were born. There are different reasons overseas adoptees come back to Korea to visit, but a common question is “What is Korea like?”
Adoptees have mixed feelings when they first return to Korea. Some questions could come to mind such as “why was I given up for adoption?” and “I wonder what my life would be like if I had lived in Korea.” Some adoptees have decided to settle down in Korea, but there are many challenges. Nest (둥지), a private organization, can assist overseas adoptees with open arms.
Overseas adoptees, you are not alone. Nest (둥지) is with you and we will do our best to support you. In addition, Nest is also involved in overseas aid for neighboring third world countries. We hope to make the world a little brighter and more beautiful through our small gestures. I would like to thank all of the sponsors that help support Nest. I hope that your work will always be meaningful.
