Part 1: Introduction to Hope Registry:
"Hope Registry" was designed to provide hope for adoptees and their birth families who long to be reunited. This registry could be the first for families and adoptees to connect. Life is short, and we never know what tomorrow holds. Shouldn't birth families and adoptees have the opportunity to meet? Complete the "Hope Registry" and find yourself and answer those unknown questions.

Part 2: Unique Features of Hope Registry
"Hope Registry" is the first and only service of its kind that provides meeting services for all Korean birth families. Regardless of where they are in the world, birth families can register their information. This personal information is kept safe and confidential by an organization established by adoptees who deeply understand the reunion process. This organization is a 501(c)3 non-profit founded in 2018, and is not affiliated with or influenced by any government, including the Korean and U.S. governments.

Part 3: Eligibility

Korean Adoptees:
Korean adoptees aged 18 or older
Adoptive parents or legal guardians of adoptees under 18
Adult adoptees who have previously found their birth parents, reunited, but have lost contact and cannot find their original family

Part 4: How it Works This registry system complies with U.S. federal law, and the information and privacy of applicants are protected. During this process, if the birth child(ren) consents, the information of both parties will be quietly matched. The more detailed information and photos you provide, the higher the probability of connecting with adoptees registered in the system.
