Why Does USKRG Force TRC 3 Information Session Participants To Sign Over Private Information To DKRG?
I think I just have to accept that U.S. Korean Adoptees are going to have to get burned themselves in order to understand my years of warnings about DKRG (Danish Korean Rights Group). It’s just sad to see this happen during these fraught times in the U.S. It’s the LEAST best time to share your private, sensitive adoption documents and private data with these people.
Here's the consent form that the *USKRG group makes you sign in order to even join an information session. USKRG is fully aware that Peter Moller of DKRG — who requires a signed Power of Attorney to file a TRC 3 case with DKRG — has a history of fraud in Denmark, and is NOT a licensed attorney, despite public claims to the contrary that he has made in international media since 2022.
Peter Moller is married to Boonyoung Han, a Korean Adoptee researcher for whom the collection of Adoptees’ private adoption documents is very valuable. DKRG and the related *KRG groups are referring hundreds, and may try to refer thousands, of cases to the TRC 3 process. But TRC 2 only rendered judgments in 56 Adoptees’ cases during 3 YEARS of investigation (2022-2025)! 311 cases were left suspended by TRC 2. These cases will have to be investigated BEFORE any newly submitted cases will be investigated by TRC 3.
I believe that DKRG knows very well that TRC 3 cannot possibly render judgments in hundreds (or thousands) of cases. But DKRG wants to collect hundreds, if not thousands, of Adoptees’ documents to fuel their research, and ultimately their private business.
Please be advised, I submitted my private, sensitive adoption documents to DKRG for TRC 2 in September 2022. I also submitted my documents to Boonyoung Han for her research study in 2022. DKRG blocked and ghosted me for NO reason (except to try to take credit for my original research regarding KSS) on December 7th, 2022 — the very day that the TRC 2 investigation into Overseas Adoption began. They have NEVER returned my many attempts at communication since.
Please PROTECT your private, sensitive adoption documents and data, especially in these times!
You can submit your own case to TRC 3 INDEPENDENTLY of DKRG, USKRG, or any *KRG group. More information will be forthcoming directly from TRC 3. Please stay tuned for more information.
In the meantime, you can begin to prepare your documents for TRC 3. Please understand that we do not wish to oversell how many cases TRC 3 will be able to investigate.
It is down to an individual Adoptees’ comfort level regarding with whom they share their sensitive, private adoption documents and personal data. Please note that the abuses which Danish Korean Adoptees experienced at the hands of DKRG were kept largely SILENT.
I do not believe that U.S. Korean Adoptees will maintain the same level of silence, IF they are abused in the TRC 3 process by DKRG.
Please be aware that if you submit your case through DKRG, USKRG, or any of the affiliated *KRG groups, you will be required to sign additional documents granting DKRG total control over your adoption documents. DKRG is a Danish organization, and two of its remaining founders (the ones they didn’t push out) — Danish Korean Adoptees Peter Moeller and Boonyoung Han — reside in South Korea.
By their own admission, DKRG will use algorithms to analyze submitted adoption documents for patterns. It is highly unlikely that they would seek your consent in the future before processing your records through additional AI systems, which could present further privacy risks. I also know that DKRG leadership does not have strong technical capacity for properly redacting sensitive information in documents, before running them through AI programs.
If your personal information were to be misused or if you experienced identity theft as a result of your documents being shared or processed, pursuing legal recourse internationally as a U.S. Adoptee would be nearly impossible.
It is highly unfortunate that DKRG has exhibited such problematic behavior toward Korean Adoptees in the course of the TRC investigations.
Please protect yourselves and your privacy in these highly fraught times in the U.S.
You can submit your case INDEPENDENTLY of DKRG, USKRG, or ANY *KRG organization.
Whatever you decide to do — good luck!
