Hi International Journey, I wanted to let you know about my campaign: 'The Voices of Korean Adoption'. After reading your blog it seems that our intentions to help, heal and grow together are similar. This campaign is a Kickstarter, and we're about 10 days in. I'd really appreciate a share through your social networks, as well as donations or a featured blog post - whatever you can afford. Details are in the attached/copied press release. Thank you - and thank you for being brave and sharing your story. It is important.

‘VOICES OF KOREAN ADOPTION’ PROJECT TO SHOWCASE EXPERIENCE OF ADOPTEES
LOCAL SEATTLEITE TO USE ART TO RAISE FUNDS FOR KOREAN ADOPTEE ORG WHILE REUNITING WITH HER BIOLOGICAL FAMILY
SEATTLE, WA and SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – April 03, 2014 – Laura Wachs, established performance artist and community organizer, is excited to announce ‘The Voices of Korean Adoption’. This powerful art project will raise money to benefit Korean adoption agencies GOAL and KoRoot, through a performance poetry showcase. The showcase will feature poets from around the world who were adopted from Korea.
The art project arose out of Wachs’ own journey to reunite with her biological parents. Wachs is awaiting confirmation from an agency helping her locate and meet them. Meanwhile, she plans to tell the world about the uniquely intricate experience of adoptees through several means: the above-mentioned poetry showcase, a book of poems from Korean adoptees all over the world, a book of poems presenting Wachs’ own journey, and a series of poetry workshops.
“The project presented itself to me,” Wachs remarked. “Once I began talking about my trip to reunite with my biological parents, I was flooded with stories of adoption. To see how prevalent this narrative was made me realize I wanted to bring awareness to it.”
“After running a successful benefit show for the Crisis Clinic of King County this past December to support the field of mental health, I decided I wanted to bring the same sort of healing to the adoptee experience.”
Wachs is running a Kickstarter campaign to support the project. The campaign has thus far raised over 30% of the $10,000 goal, with more than three weeks remaining.
Visit “The Voices of Korean Adoption” on Kickstarter (link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2057364396/the-voices-of-korean-adoption ) to help tell these incredible stories.
