Accomplishment

In 1997, the Overseas Koreans Foundation (OKF) began as an affiliated organization of the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs and Trade and charged with the development of post-adoption services. OKF creates
post-adoption services such as its Overseas Adoptees Motherland Tour and Korean Language Training program in order to help adoptees form identity and to strengthen the relationship between them and Korea.
 
The purpose of the program is to give internationally adopted Koreans a stronger connection to Korea and
their Korean identity by providing opportunities to experience their motherland, its people, and culture.
OKF also supports and works with adoption agencies in Korea that have post-adoption programs to encourage coordination of services and resource sharing.
OKF seeks to be a primary resource for adoptees to be able to explore and understand their ethnic heritage.
