Since 1998 we have nurtured a network of individuals and organizations related to Korean adoption, connecting the community through our annual conferences and frequent newsletters of events and opportunities from around the nation and world.

A Euro-American on a Korean Tour at a Thai Restaurant in China : With
each chapter examining issues that interethnic adoptive families experience, Chris
Winston weaves her own perspective on her adoption experience with perspectives
related to her by her own children, adopted adults, other adoptive parents, birth
parents, Koreans, Korean Americans, and Asian Americans. While the book’s focus
is on experiences with Korean adoption, the experiences are transferable to inter-ethnic
adoptions from any country. Author's

Pushing Up the Sky : This is the story of a remarkable family facing
incredible challenges of cancer while simultaneously figuring out how to weave their
adopted children's Korean heritage and racial ethnicity into their family. It is a story of
compromises and insights, profound joy, deep suffering, and terrific rewards. Parenting birth
and adopted children — is one theme of this book. Most of all, it is a story on the meaning
of family, and learning to let go of expectations and to forge a new identity. Author's

Edited by Sangsoon Han A powerful follow-up to I Wish for You a Beautiful Life, this new book gives voice to seventeen Korean birth mothers, who tell their stories looking back from the present to the time they were pregnant and gave birth. They describe their situations then, the decisions they had to make, and their lives in the time since. What they have to tell us is both heart-breaking and compelling, from voices seldom heard. Chris Winston says, "I really enjoyed this book, never having heard Korean birth mother's stories in such depth." It comes out in March and is available through Yeong and Yeong http://www.yeongandyeong.com |

If you are a woman of color, age 25 or older, who was adopted by white parent(s)to the United States from another country before the age of 3, you are invited to participate in a confidential

We are proud to announce that In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee will have its world premiere as a Special Presentation at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. Please join us! Purchase tickets at http://filmguide.festival.asianamericanmedia.org Friday, March 12, 6:45pm, Landmark Clay Theatre, San Francisco Saturday, March 13, 3:00pm, Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley Sunday, March 21, 6:45pm, Camera 12 Cinemas, San Jose ABOUT THE FILM Her passport said she was Cha Jung Hee. She knew she was not. So began a 40-year deception for a Korean adoptee who came to the US in 1966. Told to keep her true identity a secret from her new American family, this eight-year-old girl quickly forgot she was ever anyone else. But why had her identity been switched? And who was the real Cha Jung Hee? IN THE MATTER OF CHA JUNG HEE is the search to find the answers. It follows filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem as she returns to her native Korea to find her “double,” the mysterious girl whose place she took in America. Traversing the landscapes of memory, amnesia and identity, while also uncovering layers of deception in her adoption, this moving and provocative film probes the ethics of international adoptions and reveals the cost of living a lie. Part mystery, part personal odyssey, it raises fundamental questions about who we are…and who we could be but for the hands of fate. |

The 2010 season of The Korea Society's Classic Movie Night series will begin on Wednesday, January 20. To commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950,
The Korea Society has selected a schedule of classics that examine the conflict, and the deep, sometimes unexpected scars it has left on the Korean people. Beginning with Man With Three Coffins on January 20, and continuing with Last Witness (February 17) and Crossing (March 17), this season's classic films will examine how, even 60 years on, the effects of the War continue to haunt communities, divide families and fracture Koreans' sense of identity. Each film will be followed by a guest speaker who will discuss its artistic and cultural context. Classic Movie Night 2010

ASIA, Inc. would like to invite you to our 1st annual family/teen camps. This year’s theme will be ‘rice.’ Rice is a food item that is loved by both Koreans and Americans on a daily basis and it is served with almost every single meal in Korea. Rice can be a source of many creative Korean dishes –bibimbop, kimbop, bokeumbop, etc. We will be learning about the wonderful Korean culture by exploring around rice. Who should consider coming? All adoptive families with Korean children of all ages and their siblings are welcome to participate. We are planning two separate camps –family camp and teen camp, in the same camp site. There will be enough space to accommodate the first 26 families at the ASIA Family Camp and 35 or more teen campers at the teen camp. There will be nursery programs for infants and toddlers, as well as programs for school-age children, and adults. Special attention will be given to birth children and children from countries other than Korea. Our Teen Camp will be operated in the same facility but in a different section of the retreat center. While adults and younger children stay in a hotel style room with their parents, teen campers will stay one night outdoors in tents and two nights in a cottage with counselors. Contact Grace Song for registration info at hwakangsong@gmail.com Accommodations and location The Meadowkirk Camp and Retreat Center is a beautiful facility which attracts private parties and wedding ceremonies throughout the year. It is located in Middleburg, VA approximately 40 miles west of Washington DC. All accommodations are newly built hotel style rooms with a full bed, an extended length twin bed, and a private bath. One or two small people can sleep in their sleeping bags in the same room with their parents. Teen campers will be sharing rooms with other teen campers. Please notice that during the first night teen campers will be sleeping outdoors in tents. They will move into cottages and sleep on bunk beds for the second and third nights. Families who live close by Middleburg could commute to the camp. For more information about our camp facility visit http://www.meadowkirk.org . The town of Middleburg is known for fox hunting and steeple chasing. The charming village has earned a reputation as the "Nation's Horse and Hunt Capital," attracting prominent visitors from across the United States. Serving as a host community for more than 250 years, it is no surprise that Middleburg has developed such a high concentration of fine inns, shops and restaurants. Middleburg was recognized in 2008 for its historic preservation efforts by being designated a Preserve America Community by then-First Lady Laura Bush. Read more about Middleburg at http://www.middleburg.org
Schedule and Program Check-in will begin at 3 p.m. on Thursday. Check out will begin at 12:00 noon on Sunday. We will be selling Korean items at our camp store to benefit ASIA Culture Camp. We will be asking each family to give one hour of their time to serve a camp program. Once we have final list of campers, we will be providing you with a signup sheet with a list of areas where we need parent volunteers. Camp counselors If you would like to volunteer as a group leader for children or teens, you will have to be at least 18 or older and be able to pass a background check. Each applicant will need to submit an application by June 15th, 2010.
