Adoptee Solidarity Korea (ASK)
“Adoptee Solidarity Korea (ASK) was founded in March 2004 by a group of adopted Korean adults living and working in Korea . ASK looks at the issue of intercountry adoption out of Korea from a broad social and political perspective, as well as from a human rights point of view. We believe that the current practice of intercountry adoption from Korea is no longer necessary; its continued practice indicates a need for alternative forms of social support for Korea ‘s underprivileged class.
We also believe that an end to intercountry adoption from Korea signifies the beginning of a process that must be implemented with careful planning and a shift in the economic priorities of the Korean government in order to raise the standards of social welfare and overall quality of life for all Koreans.
Mission
ASK’s mission is to address the problems associated with Korean overseas adoption. Through education and activism, we aim to raise awareness, advocate change and support alternatives to intercountry adoption.
Vision
ASK envisions the end of intercountry adoption out of Korea in conjunction with long-term alternatives and an improved social welfare system. We will be an active voice that monitors and participates in this process of social and political change.”
