Crossing Borders-GOA'L Annual Conference

We just finished the conference for GOA'L (Global Overseas Adoptee's Link). Please check our site here:

GOA'L was created by adoptees who wanted to find a way to help other adoptees who were coming to visit our homeland, find places to stay, work, etc. Ami Nafzger was the founder and you can read about her

At GOA'L homepage:

Anyway, had a great time, spoke to a huge crowd of 25 adoptees on a panel discussion of Adoptees who had "Unsuccessful, incomplete, no response, on Searching for Birth family" and even why some do NOT want to search. I hope that the media team that video taped our session sends me their edited file. (Hope I know how to do that soon-hahaha)

I will post more on the conference later tonight.

SPECIAL THANKS TO GOA'L STAFF WHO WORKED SO HARD!!! They have also been for the last week handling a group for "First Trip Home" sponsored by GOA'L, a BIrth Family Search Tour to Korea for Overseas Korean Adoptees. They must be very tired. Thanks to all of your for your help.

This post will be updated in 12 hours. (For all six of my readers)
