PREFACE:

As of July 19th, 2025, ALL former Korean Adoption Agency files — including those of KSS — were transferred to NCRC (National Center for the Rights of the Child). As of this writing on June 30th, 2026, ALL former paper KSS files are stored at NCRC’s Temporary Storage Facility in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do. The files may be transferred AGAIN to an unknown destination at some point in time. Please be sure to check our PAPERSLIP BLOG for updates.

For KSS Adoptees who have interest in requesting their former KSS adoption file and / or a birth family search, you must submit at Petition for Adoption Information Disclosure to NCRC via the KAS website. Please see:

KSS tore down its old campus in 2016 and sold the land for apartment buildings. Just ONE building which was part of KSS’ old campus remained — which KSS remodeled into its Post Adoption Services building in 2016. From 2016 - July 19th, 2025, KSS stored ALL KSS Adoptees’ files at its Post Adoption Services building.

Below is a collection of images shared by KSS Adoptees for future generations, who did not have the opportunity to visit the old KSS campus prior to its destruction in 2016, nor KSS’ Post Adoption Services building prior to its permanent closure on July 19th, 2025.

Please note that as of this writing on June 30th, 2026, the KSS’ Post Adoption Services building still exists. However, we believe at some point KSS will likely sell this building and land as well — we do not know for sure.

Adoptees may still visit the area where KSS’ former campus once stood.

The only remaining building (as of July 19th, 2025) is Building 1: Reception & File Room, which KSS formerly used as its Post Adoption Services building from 2016 - July 19th, 2025.

*Please note that not all of the buildings were built in the same year and that the purposes of some buildings changed over time. However, Building 2 was always the MAIN building of KSS’ former campus in Seoul. It was built at some point in the early 1970s and remained until 2016 when KSS tore the entire campus down, except for Building 1, which KSS used as its Post Adoption Services building from 2016 - July 19th, 2025.
