First Trip Home
In 2008, G.O.A.’L. created the First Trip Home program for adoptees to return to Korea for the first time and search for their origins. This program is unique as it not only focuses on visiting and connecting with Korea, but also includes individualized family search efforts for each participant.
Sotdae
In 2020, as a response to travel and gathering restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, G.O.A.'L. introduced, Sotdae, a 10-day origin search program that focused on one adoptee's journey to connect with Korea and conduct a thorough family search.
This was a privately funded program. If you or an organization you know is interested in sponsoring this program, please contact
In 2024, G.O.A.'L. held a group Sotdae program.
