Are you able to help with an independent search?

We will discuss independent searching with Korean adoptees and discussing options.

How is your organization different from my US placing agency or others in the United States?

Our staff is comprised of all transracial adoptees and has 10+ years of experience in adoption and post adoption. We understand the unique needs and questions Korean adoptees have when it comes to post adoption services. Therefore, we are able to provide a more detailed look and insight into current and historical adoption and post adoption policies and procedures to help adoptees have greater understanding about the adoption stories.

I have already searched through my US and Korean adoption agencies and they were not able to find anyone. Can you help me?

We would be happy to review any records that you have and any search results that you received to discuss any potential additional search options or additional questions to ask your Korean adoption agency. But unfortunately, we are unable to assist with independent searching at this time. We would be happy to refer you to an appropriate organization if you are interested in searching independently.

“AdopteeBridge will always put the wants and needs of the adoptee first, because they genuinely care for you and your family. They have an incredible amount of experience leading birthland tours to Korea and are also passionate about what they do.”
