G.O.A.L founding cut [link to GOAL's message, click to read]
Personally I as a Korean adoptee has never had to relay on your services although I know that many, many adoptees has been helped by them. It's obviously good that the Korean government is starting to realize that they need to change their approch for adoption in Korea.
Yet it seems like they are forgeting or neglecting to understand that it's not as easy to just move forward... What about the Korean adoptees that has been sent overseas already and what about the future adoptees ?
Shouldn't they be allowed some kind of help as well ? The government hopes that they will be able to discontinue their overseas adoption although I'm not convinced it will stop right away. That's why I still believe it is neccessary almost vital that G.O.A.L will be supported by the Korean state...
Other information says that this funding cut is seriously also affecting INKAS as well... Oh no, can't be. It just can't. What now ? What will happen (not only with thousands of Korean adoptees, but with the NGO organizations that so far has helped KADs?) And how will this new change of direction affect overseas Korean adoption? Will the already adopted KADs recieve no help starting from now, or what ?
I'm far from an activist, yet I'm a Korean adoptee...
Please don't read too much into this post, I'm very grateful and humble towards everything Korea and it's people has done for me so far (as an Korean adoptee).
