This blog is not only a way to express my perspectives on transracial Korean Adoption, but as a space to link issues of social inequalities to systems of oppression and structures of power. It’s a space to claim transracial Korean adoption as an identity that exists not necessarily half of one and half of another, but as a valid composite of the Pan-Asian identity.
I hope to empower transracial adoptees to speak out and speak with each other. I do not take a definitive stance on whether or not I believe adoption or transracial adoption is ethically or morally correct. There are both positive and negative aspects that are important to understand. However, it’s important to understand that when there are huge profits being made (off of what started as a humanitarian operation), there will always be abuse, and corruption.
Well, time for me to step off my soapbox. If you have something you want to say, I encourage you to email me. Thanks for checking out my blog.

I was seriously impressed with you when we met (at the OW panel talk, you gave me a lift home) and am glad to see you getting it out there on the blogosphere! Keep up the good work!
Yay! It’s a boy!

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Male TRA bloggers who blog TRA are so rare. It’s always nice when you become a little less rare. Much support!
Thank You
