G.O.A.L-Global Overseas Adoptee’s LinkG.O.A.L was established in Seoul, Korea in March 1998 as an independent organization to assist returning adoptees. G.O.A.L unites Korean adoptees from European countries and the U.S. together with over 100 native Korean volunteers. These native Korean members help by providing knowledge about Korean culture, insight about native Korean behavior, and by increasing awareness of adoption issues amongst the general public. In short, G.O.A.L was developed to help adoptees adjust to living and working in Korea, to find a job and a place to live. More importantly, G.O.A.L’s presence in Korea fosters awareness about adoption in the Korean government, adoption agencies, and Korean society. |
