The Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles will host the Korean American Adoptee Storytime event “Finding Family” on Monday, Aug. 19, at 6 p.m. in Ari Hall.
Co-hosted with 325KAMRA, a global nonprofit dedicated to reuniting Korean families through DNA testing, the event will feature six Korean adoptees sharing excerpts from their stories published in “Together at Last,” a first-of-its-kind anthology. They will convey the frustrations, anger, healing and hope experienced in their journeys of adoption and discovering their roots. All the adoptees were born in Korea and adopted into American families. They will share their unique adoption story and the experience of searching for and finding their birth family through DNA.
The event is open to anyone interested in the stories of Korean adoptees and the diversity of family experiences. Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn about using DNA as a birth search tool and will have access to free DNA testing kits.
KCCLA is located at 5505 Wilshire Blvd. RSVP is required for the event and can be made by visiting kccla.org.
