Disclaimer.

Please note that we are not formal researchers. We are simply KSS Adoptees who have a vested interest in educating ourselves and other Korea Social Service (KSS) Adoptees about KSS’ history, past practices, and current procedures for Birth Family Search.

We do not represent KSS nor any of its Partner Western Adoption Agencies: International Social Service (ISS), Welcome House / Pearl S. Buck Foundation - (Pennsylvania, US), Lutheran Social Services (LSS) - (Minnesota, US), Wereldkinderen - (Netherlands), Adoption Center (AC) / AC Børnehjælp, DanAdopt, and Danish International Adoption (DIA) - (Denmark), Terre des Hommes - (Switzerland), Love The Children (LTC) - (Pennsylvania, US), or Family / Foreign Adoption Consultants (FAC) / F&CS Foster Care and Adoption Service - (Michigan, US).

All information on this website is for educational purposes only and is based on informal volunteer research. We try our best to provide accurate information, but we consider our knowledge about past and current KSS procedure an investigative work in progress. Because much of KSS past practice is kept secret from Adoptees, we do our best to provide the information we have gleaned from our own and other Adoptees’ cases. We always welcome feedback and suggestions for how to improve the site.

Suggestions? Ideas? Please contact us.

Disclaimer Update:

Paperslip.org is run entirely by Korea Social Service (KSS) Adoptee volunteers. We are not affiliated with, nor do we represent, ANY Korean or Western Adoption Agencies, or ANY Korean Government bodies such as the NCRC (National Center for the Rights of the Child) or KAS (Korea Adoption Services).

The information we share has largely been gathered and verified through our own efforts, due to the lack of clear guidance from both Adoption Agencies and Korean Government institutions. While we strive to provide accurate and helpful resources for Adoptees, we ask for your understanding that we operate independently, and do not speak on behalf of any official organizations involved in adoption or birth family search.

It is up to YOU to independently verify any important information related to your birth family search process, and to act according to your own best interests. We take NO RESPONSIBILITY for the information presented here which may change over time, or about which we may not be aware. If you spot anything which you think we should update, please let us know via email.

Thank you!
