Adoptee Summer Camp in Michigan

If you’re the parent of a Korean adoptee in the Michigan area, Sae Jong Camp might be of interest to you.

From their website:
Our mission is to provide all Korean-American children the opportunity to explore their Korean-American identities, learn about their Korean heritage, and make friendships to last a lifetime. Our camp also provides an opportunity for campers to share their experiences with other campers and counselors who are able to encourage, support, and most importantly, empathize. This does not imply that we attempt to define or shape your child’s identity. Nor do we pretend to have the answers to all of their questions. We acknowledge each child as an individual who possesses unique and very personal life experiences as a Korean-American and/or adoptee.

Registration is now being accepted for the 2008 camp which will be held August 10 - August 16, 2008 and is for Korean adoptees ages 7-18.

I’m sorry because this comment is not directly for the post above. I am writing in hopes that you will make a future post containing the following information.

I am currently interning at the Global Overseas Adoptees’ Link (GOA’L), located in Seoul, South Korea. I am writing to you with intentions of both providing you with information on, as well as asking for your assistance with our current campaign.

As you may already know, GOA’L has been supporting overseas adoptees born in Korea since 1998. We are now lobbying for overseas adoptees’ right to hold a dual citizenship.

At the bottom, you will find a link leading toward some documents about this campaign. There is an information package which contains the specific details about our campaign. Within, issues such as military service and tax responsibilities are outlined. There is also a petition sign form. We are hoping to obtain 50,000 signatures by December 2008. To reach this goal, the Korean overseas adopted community must come together. We cannot do this without your help.

We would greatly appreciate your support in this campaign.
