Six Korean-American adoptees will share their poignant experiences of searching for their roots at an event in Los Angeles on March 19th.
The Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles announced on March 5th that it will host a “Finding Family” event in collaboration with the Korean Adoptees of America (325KAMRA) at the center’s Ari Hall at 6 PM on the 19th.
During the event, six individuals born in Korea and adopted by American families will take the stage to read from their book “Together at Last,” which chronicles their personal stories. The book captures their feelings of frustration and anger, as well as messages of healing and hope, experienced during their search for their biological parents in Korea.
The event will also feature key scenes from the documentary “Relative Strangers,” which explores the stories of Korean adoptees. This new documentary was directed by Dean Bolshay Im, himself a Korean adoptee.
Anyone can attend the event by registering in advance on the Cultural Center’s website.
Sangwon Jung, Director of the Korean Cultural Center in LA, stated, “We organized this event hoping it would be a time to heal the painful history of Korean adoption and to share stories of hope.”
This event provides a platform for Korean adoptees to share their experiences and emotions surrounding their search for identity and biological families, while also raising awareness about the complexities of international adoption.
