Visions
Korean Adoptee Culture Center
We'd like to raise funds to establish a "Korean Adoptee Culture Center" where adoptees have all resources at the same place. Our office would be there, you could get education in Korean language, Korean culture. There would be an exhibition room for Korean adoptee artists, a working space for Korean adoptee artists. An archive could attract researchers from all over the world for the new discipline "Korean Adoption Studies". The archive would be a witness of the 50 years of international adoption from Korea. A meeting room could offer space for discussions. Smaller rooms could offer space to adoptees to either tutor their language, English or get tutored in Korean. A cafeteria run by an adoptee would provide food and drinks. There could be additional rooms for every country where adoptees were adopted to. So every organization overseas could have their own representative in that room and every adoptee could talk to someone in their own language.
A chamber of commerce for adoptees could support all adoptees who would like to invest in Korea, who would like to establish their own businesses. Start off companies could then get good conditions, tax reductions, could be housed in the Korean Adoptee Culture Center etc.
Dual Citizenship
One more important vision would be to get dual citizenship for all Korean adoptees. Having both citizenships would allow Korean adoptees to better identify themselves. It also improves their situation in their mothercountry as there are still prejudices and biases towards adoptees. |
