Adam: The Birth Search

 The first part of Adam's story is here.

TO BE CONTINUED.

 

Adam's birth search story is pretty long (my interview notes go on for about eight pages), so I'm breaking it up into pieces. I'll post the rest next week.

Adam

 

 

 

Adam is currently raising money to return to Korea. This time he's going to try to find his family. His goal is a very modest $2,000. You can read more about his story over here.

 

Adam is a very important friend...a genuinely interesting and wonderful person. Seeing the positive changes in him as he's become more active in Korean adoptee groups and after travelling to Korea has deeply impressed me with the importance of adult adoptees seeking out these connections. As mentioned in the comic, however, please tread carefully. Returning to your birthland can be an emotional minefield, so make sure you have support and are openly communicating your feelings with people you trust.

You're the best, Adam. Good luck on your trip.
