After the Korean War, at least 200,000 people were adopted overseas for various reasons. During a post-war ruin state, overseas adoption at that time was considered “ones blessing.” Now countless overseas adoptees are visiting the land where they were born. There are different reasons people come back to Korea to visit, but a common question is “What type of country is Korea, that abandoned me?”
Taking their first step on Korean soil, adoptees could have mixed feelings. Some questions could come to mind such as “why did such a well-off country abandon me?” and “my parents must have given up on me because of some stories they can’t tell me.” There are some adoptees that try to settle down in Korea, but life here is not very easy. Nest, a private organization, is a haven for all overseas adoptees who have left Korea unintentionally, and it will be your home as a friend, brother, sister and family.
Overseas adoptees! You are not alone. Nest is with you! “둥지” is your fence and we will do our best to support you. Nest is also involved in overseas aid for neighboring third world countries. Nest hopes 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.
