Clarifying Common Misconceptions About Paperslip’s Role In Birth Family Search.

”Can You Help Me Find My Birth Family?”

We apologize, but we do not have time to answer the individual questions of non-KSS (Korea Social Service) Adoptees for free. Many non-KSS Adoptees contact us to “simply” help them find their birth family. This complex process is the subject of this entire site. It takes an hour-long conversation to discuss this question — which we are happy to do with Adoptees (and their loved ones), but not for free.

If you are not a KSS Adoptee, please read about our paid Advisory Sessions. We are happy to explore your case and to answer your questions in that context.

However, the entirety of our site is FREE for both KSS and non-KSS Adoptees to explore. Please actually READ our information. It is there to help you.

Thank you!

*PLEASE NOTE: KSS (Korea Social Service) was the SMALLEST of the 4 major Korean Adoption Agencies. KSS ONLY sent children for adoption to the US, Netherlands, Denmark, and Switzerland between 1964-2012, through a SPECIFIC list of Western Partner Adoption Agencies.

KSS did NOT adopt to Sweden, Canada, Australia, or to any other European countries other than the ones we mentioned above.

Please note that KSS is NOT the same as KWS (Korea Welfare Society) / formerly SWS (Social Welfare Society) / formerly CPS (Child Placement Services). KSS did NOT adopt to Sweden — that was KWS / SWS.

KSS is also NOT the same as Holt or Eastern Social Welfare Society (ESWS) - formerly Eastern Child Welfare Society (ECWS).

KSS is also NOT the same as the Korean Public Institution KAS (Korea Adoption Services) which is now called NCRC (National Center for the Rights of the Child).
