Adopted Jane All About Me, Adopted Jane, Adoption, Reunion, Rejection and Life. This Blog is Raw and emotional. It might make you cry, It might make you mad, It might make you laugh...I think Adoption and the fact that its NOT all hearts and flowers needs to be told. I think people have a very blurred perspective about what Adoption is actually all about. |

Bastard Nation Blog Bastard Nation advocates for the civil and human rights of adult citizens who were adopted as children. Millions are prohibited by law from accessing personal records that pertain to their historical, genetic and legal identities. Such records are held by their governments in secret and without accountability, due solely to the fact that they were adopted. Bastard Nation campaigns for the restoration of their right to access their records. End a hidden legacy of shame, fear and venality. |

Bitch, You Left Me This blog is a collaborative effort between adult adoptees who want to speak our entire truth, even when it’s ugly and ungrateful. And also when it’s beautiful and places in between. ...A space where we are “allowed” to explore our rage in an environment where we will not be chastised for being ungrateful or f%@ked up for being really pissed off about our experiences as adoptees. We wish to create a place where it is safe to present real and raw representations of adopted lives lived. We want to acknowledge that we all have levels and places of love and gratitude within our adoption experiences, but where and when do we truly get to express our rage without judgment? We are interested in building community and healing through creative expression, transforming our fear of attachment into action, and reclaiming our authentic voices, the ones that have been silenced by the fear of losing family and home. We invite adoptees who wish to be part of this community to submit their original work for publication on this blog. All rights will be retained by the author. Please send all submissions to b.youleftme@gmail.com. |

Jane's Blog My name is Jane Jeong Trenka and I’m an overseas Korean adoptee (Korea Social Service / Lutheran Social Service). My Korean mother searched for me and found me shortly after I was sent to the U.S. in 1972, and before I was legally adopted. I was raised in rural Minnesota by white American parents, and have been going back and forth from Korea since 1995. I’ve had continuous contact with my Korean family since 1988 and returned to live in Korea in 2004. |

Korean War Baby Holt Adoptee # A-20, First of Many, Left May 21, 1956. Multi-Ethnic/Cultural- the journey of self-discovery is a never ending story. Faced with a difficult choice, our unwed Korean mother gave up my sister and I for adoption. We were of 'Mixed-Blood', Half-Breeds, despised by Koreans, looked upon with curiosity by others. Life is not always fair, but for us Adoption was the best option, because being HonhyolAh (Mixed) was especially bad in Korea, where 'purity of blood' is a strong Confucian belief. Recently this is slowly changing with the younger generation. We found out our birth father was himself a Mixed-Breed, Apache/Mexican/Spanish. By 1973 the 'children of foreign devils' or TuiGi 튀기 were no longer a handicap or problem. Abortion became readily available-'those children' ceased to be a 'problem'...they were just 'eliminated'. I fight for the rights of ALL involved in the game of Life and Death. I LIVED, and I AM BACK! I am for Balance in This Thing of Ours-Adoption. |

Neither Here nor There An adoptee is "neither here nor there..." meaning, (figuratively or literally) to be caught between two points or locations. Idiomatically, it means having no significance or influence on the question at hand. |

The Transracial Korean Adoptee Nexus This blog is not only a way to express my perspectives on transracial Korean Adoption, but as a space to link issues of social inequalities to systems of oppression and structures of power. It’s a space to claim transracial Korean adoption as an identity that exists not necessarily half of one and half of another, but as a valid composite of the Pan-Asian identity. I hope to empower transracial adoptees to speak out and speak with each other. I do not take a definitive stance on whether or not I believe adoption or transracial adoption is ethically or morally correct. There are both positive and negative aspects that are important to understand. However, it’s important to understand that when there are huge profits being made (off of what started as a humanitarian operation), there will always be abuse, and corruption. Well, time for me to step off my soapbox. If you have something you want to say, I encourage you to email me. Thanks for checking out my blog. |
