Adopted Koreans Pay Tribute to President Kim Dae-Jung
Twenty-seven years ago, in one of the famous prison letters to his wife, Kim Dae-Jung brought up the issue of transnational adoption from Korea. While contemplating the moral aspects of intercountry adoption in a time of economic growth and national prosperity, he was equally moved by the existential struggle of the adoptees returning to Korea and ashamed of the nation's reckless abandonment of its sons and daughters.
During the long years in opposition and exile from his own country, Kim Dae-Jung and his wife had many opportunities to meet with individuals and representatives from communities around the world. He was both surprised and stunned by the large number of adopted Koreans he encountered on his travels. In 1989, while visiting Stockholm, Sweden, the adoption issue was brought to his attention during his public speech by the audience and his understanding of the issue deepened during the following years.
On 23 October 1998, as the democratically elected President of the Republic of Korea, Kim Dae-Jung officially apologized on behalf of the nation to a specially invited group of twenty-nine adoptees from eight different countries. The Korean nation, for the first time, officially acknowledged the existence of 200,000 transnationally adopted Koreans.
The following year, Kim Dae-Jung initiated efforts to provide support for returning adoptees that search for their birth families. That resulted in the opening of the semi-governmental organization Global Adoption Information and Post-Service Center (then ÀÔ¾çÁ¤º¸¼¾ÅÍ, which was recognized as Áß¾ÓÀÔ¾çÁ¤º¸¿ø from July 2009). In the spirit of reconciliation, which he was famous for, the organization was supposed to centralize and simplify the steps towards a possible reunion between the Korean adoptee and the Korean birth family.
Over the past decade, more than 90,000 requests for search have been made. That means roughly half of all the individuals sent for overseas adoption have made an average of at least one official request to find their Korean families, and yet, less than 2.7% of all adoptees have been successfully reunited with their families.
Today, there exists a unique community of transnationally adopted Koreans in Seoul. Approximately 500-1,000 overseas adoptees have returned to live in Korea on a more or less permanent basis, while several thousands visit each year. Similar to the 'China Towns' and the 'Korea Towns' in American and European cities, there is a small, but growing 'Adoptee Town' in Seoul.
There are numerous reasons to pay tribute to late President Kim Dae-Jung. For us, for the community of transnationally adopted Koreans, he symbolizes the very best in Korea: the value of mutual recognition, the respect for human dignity, and an uncompromising fight against injustice.
But more than anything, Kim Dae-Jung was the first representative of the Korean people to officially acknowledge our existence, our suffering, and our lifelong struggle to end our exile. He was the first to acknowledge that we are, we were, and we will remain Korean. We therefore, with the greatest respect, pay our tribute to former President Kim Dae-Jung and his vision of reconciliation without borders.
