Korean Adoption: An American Family Story

September 30, 2003 - January 7, 2004

Museum: American History Museum

Location: 2nd Floor, West Wing, across from Woolworth's Lunch Counter

A child's hanbok (Korean dress), immigration documents, and a Congressional bill are used to tell the story of one family's role in the growth of international and transracial adoption that followed the Korean War orphan crisis and reshaped American family and community life into the 21st century.
