Birth family Reunion Support

    Over the years, more than 200,000 South Korean orphans have found new families and homes in more than 14 different countries. At InKAS, we assist those adoptees who wish to find their birth families.

    If you would like to search for your birth family, first contact your adoption agency. If the circumstance is that your adoption agency cannot help, please submit all of your adoption files along with the application form. We will try our best to assist you in every way possible.

    On your behalf, InKAS can visit orphanages and/or hospitals in Seoul and other regions in South Korea. Please note that there will be a charge for the trip (I,e. costs for transportation, accommodation, etc.) when visiting regions outside of Seoul.

    Our services that InKAS provides for adoptees who wish to search for their birth families include ;

1. Meeting a Translator: We will provide you with translators who will be able to translate during reunion meetings with birth families. Because we understand that there may be a language barrier between adoptees and birth families during reunion meetings and during various activities in South Korea, we can always provide translators who can assist you.

2. Email & Letter translation: We understand the importance of communication before and after birth family reunions. We provide online and offline translation services so that adoptees and birth families can maintain correspondence through letters and e-mails. All the letters that are translated will be kept confidential.

3. Accommodation Arrangement: Traveling to a foreign country is always an uneasy process, especially if the trip is for the first time to an unfamiliar location. We would like to provide a dependable assistance and help you find an affordable and safe place for your choice of lodging, and to assist you with any other arrangements you may need.

4. Airport Pick up & Guide: We can arrange an airport pickup if you do not have any pickup arrangements. We can also find tour guides who accompany you during activities such as shopping, eating, sight seeing, etc.

   5. Counseling: We provide counseling for those who need to talk before or after their birth family search. We know that the searching and meeting process of one’s birth family can be stressful. With the knowledge that we have gained through numerous successful reunions, we will do our best to ease your worries and make this process as comfortable as possible by guiding you through cultural differences and any other difficulties that may arise.
