Descendants of Korean Adoptees
This registry is a quick (5-10 min) demographic survey that will gather information about an important and unique part of the Korean diaspora, adult children of Korean adoptees. You must be at least 18 years old and have one parent who was adopted from South Korea. Following the registry, we will contact a number of individuals for participation in an interview. Please go to “About” for more information on the project.
