The image above shows the door to NCRC’s current file review room at their Temporary Storage Facility in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do. This is where all former Korean Adoption Agency files are currently housed, and where Adoptees can book an appointment to review their file in person.

Adoptees are only able to obtain scanned copies of their file from NCRC’s Main Office in Seoul — a separate location.
