S. Korea better be lawyering up. They adopted their citizens out to litigious nations, and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

[Tong-hyung Kim @KimTongHyung]

SEOUL (AP) — A 70-year-old South Korean woman sued her government, an adoption agency, and an orphanage over the adoption of her daughter, who was sent to the United States in 1976, months after she was kidnapped at age 4.

Thought I could be a lone wolf as a writer but turns out I need a wolf pack (no horses were harmed in the writing of this column).

The first of a devastating two-part investigation on South Korean adoption. Tomorrow's article will delve into the complicity of Western countries. This investigation is conjunction with the Frontline documentary airing tomorrow.

So much of ORDINARY DISASTERS resonated with me--marriage to a white person, raising mixed-race children, aging bodies--but I really appreciated Cheng's pushback on Joan Didion.

@ssteingraber1 @tracysoneill Coming here late to alert you to the "spoilers" in my review, in case you like to not know plot twists and turns. But really, it's not just the plot, it's the language and the author's sharp insight that make this book so amazing!

[Alice Stephens @AliceKSStephens]

Looking forward to discussing this fabulous SciFi thriller with strong Korean themes tonight with the talented debut author Elaine Cho! Please join us!!

"The more people tell O’Neill about her mother, the less she knows. Stories crisscross, collide, and contradict."

My review of Tracy O'Neill's memoir, WOMAN OF INTEREST, on searching for and finding her Korean mother.

I’ve been lucky enough to have lived most of my life believing that good was on the ascendance and humanity was steadily inching toward those democratic ideals espoused in America’s foundational documents. Now, I realize I have to prepare myself for the Greek-tragedy ending.

Want to know how intercounty adoption became a thing? Read Yuri Doolan's groundbreaking book, THE FIRST AMERASIANS, which I reviewed. This book review was very personal for me, an Amerasian first wave Korean adoptee.
