Adoption... Isn't It Our Responsibility?
"Every Child Deserves a Home of His Own." - Harry Holt
Greetings from the founder of MPAK
Thank you for visiting the MPAK web site! My dear friend. Mr. Harry Holt once said, "Every Child Deserves a Home of His Own." I believe the time has come for Koreans to reach out and help homeless children in Korea. Although each year over a thousand of homeless Korean children find homes overseas, there remains much greater number of children who are not adopted and must grow up in orphanages in Korea. Also the foreign adoption program will come to an end someday. Time is short and there is an urgent need to promote adoption in Korea.
In my attempt to create a web site for MPAK, every effort was made to cover the topics that are of interest to potential Korean parents who wish to adopt children but have various concerns or issues that stand in their way. The web site does not have all the answers, but it will evolve to cover inputs by viewers. The web site is designed to help the viewers to look at the concept of adoption positively, and help them to overcome fear in adoption. It is designed to address the needs of homeless children in Korea. It is designed to help them to see the beauty in adoption for the sake of children as well as for them.

If You Wish to Find Out More About Adopting Korean Children
Here's the most current listing of US adoption agencies with approval to place Korean children in American homes. I strongly recommend a very informative website that has a comprehensive information on adopting a child from Korea: http://www.adoptkorea.com/
