MISSION STATEMENT: Korean @doptees Worldwide, shortened as K@W is an ADOPTEE RUN international organization with the purpose of educating both Korean adoptees and the general public about issues that concern Korea and adoption. Our mission is to provide information, raise awareness, and act as a network for Korean Adoptees independent of geographical, linguistic, cultural, national, racial, religious or other affiliation, for the primary purpose of promoting and creating knowledge. Our main focus is to create information and raise awareness about our existence to Korean adoptees and general public alike. We believe that adult Korean adoptees are the subject matter experts regarding knowledge in this area.

K@W is NOT for APs/PAPs who are looking for information about how to adopt, or about being adoptive parents.
