Thanks to Consequence for publishing "The Lucky Ones," about my mother relinquishing me to my Korean adoption agency. Consequence addresses the consequences of war & I'm gratified they recognize intercountry adoption thrives in wars & dictatorships. consequenceforum.substack.com/p/the-lucky-...

S Korea's Truth & Reconciliation Commission found my #adoption, a textbook case of relinquishment & placement, to be in violation of my human rights due to the orphan hojuk. This is huge because 1000s of Korean adoptees were permanently separated from their families of origin by the orphan hojuk. 🥚

We have 1000 signatures!! Many adoptees are reeling from the Frontline doc and the Truth & Reconciliation Commission's report on human rights violations in S Korean adoption & feel helpless about next steps. Here's a simple and concrete action to take. Please sign and share!

Usually I remove all the tabs from a book before I photograph it for social media, but I kept them in for THE VIOLENCE OF LOVE by Kit W. Myers to show how many important passages there were. Read my review at www.washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/bookreview/t...

Thank you to Little Patuxent Review for publishing my short story "The Origamist," part of my autofictional collection on my adoption. This is the first print-only publication I have been published in in years, and it's lovely to hold my words in my hands.

I wasn't an orphan but was labeled one to be eligible for adoption in America. Turns out, I'm not the only one. Read my review of Kristen Martin's important investigation on America's shameful treatment of its most vulnerable citizens.
