Programs:

Birth Family Search

The birth family search program helps adoptees find information about their birth families or adoption situations. This program is vital to the adoptee community to help them learn about their past and find a connection to their Korean roots. The tasks of birth family search volunteers are as follows:

  • translation of documents from adoption organizations
  • translation of letters and other documents between the adoptee and birth family
  • assisting adoptees in the program discover Korea and Korean culture
  • in-person interpretations between the birth family and adoptee.

Because this program helps adoptees during their time in Korea, each adoptee is paired with a set of volunteers during their time in Korea. These volunteers are mentors for the adoptee and help them along their two-week journey

Korea Integration Program

This program helps adoptees navigate their way back into Korean society. G.O.A.’L. helps adoptees get settled into Korea by assisting with visa application, setting up basic living needs, and learning the Korean language. These services are built to help adoptees through the process of entering back into Korean society. The tasks of the volunteers for the Korea Integration program are as follows:

  • translation of documents for F4 or Dual Citizenship applications
  • accompanying adoptees to help apply for visa and dual citizenship
  • assisting adoptees set up basic living needs (finding housing, getting a bank account, getting a phone plan, etc.)
  • Korea language tutors
