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 and Danish International Adoption (DIA) - (Denmark), Terre des Hommes - (Switzerland), Love The Children / LTC (Pennsylvania, US) or Family Adoption Consultants / 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.

Note:

*While this website is mostly geared toward Adoptees who were adopted through the Korean Adoption Agency Korea Social Service (KSS), there is also information here which is relevant to ALL Korean Adoptees, regardless of their Korean Adoption Agency. Please read carefully to note what info. is purely relevant to KSS Adoptees and what is generally relevant to ALL Korean Adoptees.
