Tales of Wonderlost

I'm a Korean-American adoptee living in Seoul, getting my MA in Anthropology (yes, taking all of my classes in Korean TT). In my spare time, I volunteer at two great organizations: Korean Unwed Mothers' Families Association (KUMFA) and the Women's Global Solidarity Action Network (WGSAN) - a group that works on various issues, including with the survivors of military sexual slavery during WWII ("Comfort Women"). I also love cooking and baking and going to the noraebang ^^

brandx asked: you are both bold and sensitive and not in any way a 'failure' for your family search. i know it's hard to not internalize -the white savior complex is too pervasive with outposts in our heads- when everything we were raised by erases and actively prevents us from our roots, the wonder and the search are victories in and of themselves & proof of our survival. Oppressors don't get to make us feel weak by leaving us impossible tasks in the wake of their destruction.

ugh you are the actual best. seriously. i want to bake you a cake or make you some guacamole or knit you a sweater or something. i don’t even know.

KUMFA in the NY Times. Look for the opinion piece by adoptee activist Kevin Ost-Vollmers. (Piece by birth mother blogger, Claudia Corrigan D’arcy also worth a read for the usually overlooked opinion of first moms!)
