DEAR MEMBERS OF ADOPTIONSPOLITISK FORUM,

Happy Summer Holiday! We hope you are in the midst of enjoying beers and BBQ in the sun, lots of strawberries and long bright evenings with friends, family and/or summer flirts.

Adoptionspolitisk Forum has great news for you in July.

In the spirit of the Summer Holiday we have landed an exclusive MEMBERS ONLY event with Kim Stoker, the spokes person of ASK (Adoptee Solidarity Korea).

We have arranged this event because we saw this as a great opportunity to learn from the first transnational adoptee activist group in Korea. We have asked Kim Stoker to share her breadth of knowledge and experiences working with ASK, in order to learn from and translate to our work in Denmark. This will begin an important cross-national dialog for Aoptionspolitisk Forum; where we can exchange experiences with activists outside of Denmark in our effort to become better at what we do.

In the beginning of the evening Kim Stoker will give an introduction of ASK and it’s mission. She will share her experience of being a pioneer of adoptee activism and how ASK created a coalition with other organizations in Korea in the work of revising the Special Adoption Law that went into effect in 2012.

Afterwards there will be room for Q&As and lots of discussion.

We are expecting an inspirational night that will inspire leadership and bridge different continents in knowledge sharing.

Please RSVP by July 27. We hope all of you are able to participate despite the short notice.

In solidarity,
Adoptionspolitisk Forum

ASK’s mission is to address the problems associated with Korean overseas adoption. Through education and activism, we aim to raise awareness, advocate change and support alternatives to intercountry adoption.

Vision
ASK envisions the end of intercountry adoption out of Korea in conjunction with long-term alternatives and an improved social welfare system. We will be an active voice that monitors and participates in this process of social and political change.

About ASK
Adoptee Solidarity Korea (ASK) was founded in March 2004 by a group of adopted Korean adults living and working in Korea . ASK looks at the issue of intercountry adoption out of Korea from a broad social and political perspective, as well as from a human rights point of view. We believe that the current practice of intercountry adoption from Korea is no longer necessary; its continued practice indicates a need for alternative forms of social support for Korea ‘s underprivileged class.

We also believe that an end to intercountry adoption from Korea signifies the beginning of a process that must be implemented with careful planning and a shift in the economic priorities of the Korean government in order to raise the standards of social welfare and overall quality of life for all Koreans.

ASK has given presentations at adoption-related conferences (KAAN, GOA’L and the 2004 & 2007 Adoptee Gathering) and taken an active role in hearings and forums on adoption-related policy organized by members of the National Assembly. We also organize a Monthly Forum for the purpose of raising awareness about adoption-related issues in the adoptee community and the general public at large.
