Adoption Day
| Korea celebrated its third Adoption Day on May 11, 2008. The date itself conveys a special message; May is considered family month in Korea, and the 11th was selected in the meaning of one family plus one adoptee making a new, loving home. The day was designated in 2006 to raise awareness of domestic adoption and to promote it. The designation has been a very special and significant step as the beginning of efforts to bring positive attitudes toward adoption. Read story here |
