Currently, there are about 3000 Korean born children adopted to Canadian families. Every year, an average of 100 Korean children are adopted in Canada. Our main goal is connecting the adoptive families to other adoptive families as well as organizing various cultural events focused on embracing Korean culture.<br /><br />Our most anticipated event of the year is the heritage summer camps in August. Families come together from all across the country to enjoy a weekend away with other adoptive families. Delicious Korean food is served and various Korean cultural events take place during the three day camp. Programs include family games, cooking contests, water-gun fights, dancing, movie, campfire, Q&A with youth speakers and more. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://www.kccato.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">http://www.kccato.com</span></span></a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">**We are still accepting donations towards GOING HOME via </span></span><a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=oySMHphjQQ5Tg1aCVZc1e9riQ5g8WodjWVsSGMeoEuO5l2_yh7d286ge0_K&dispatch=50a222a57771920b6a3d7b606239e4d529b525e0b7e69bf0224adecfb0124e9bed5d628c8572747938ce7012172b0cd723bcf611e54fcc1c"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">PayPal</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> and US tax deductible donation through </span></span><a href="https://boxoffice.printtixusa.com/filmforum/sponsor?src=Mikyung%20Kim%20and%20Jason%20Hoffmann-Going%20Home:%20Identities%20of%20the%20Modern%20Age"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Film Forum</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">.

Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Meg Ryan... I haven't been following any of these celebrities that closely and don't even know all of the circumstances, so I apologize in advance if this offends anyone but I think it's wonderful that big well known and established celebrities are brave enough and have come out to support and encourage adoption. It feels good as an adoptee that everyone has began to think about adoption and has started an open conversation about it. It is so important, in my mind at least, that this topic is discussed openly as well as behind closed doors.<br /><br />- JasonJason and Mikyunghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14862739552137426533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522715469071334784.post-41865175538729169312009-03-31T10:30:00.004+09:002009-04-01T03:54:27.618+09:00DocumentariesToday I read a very interesting article on Cinematical. The whole article was essentially about whether the term documentary should be dropped because of its social stigma. When people ask me if I am a big fan of documentaries, I have to be honest, I'm not. I love all different sorts of movies but I couldn't say that documentary is my favorite genre. However, it is by far one of the most powerful genres when done correctly. In thinking about this in relation to Going Home, I feel as though I sought out to make a movie that didn't abide by so-called "conventional" standards or procedures of documentaries. I wanted to make a film that I would want to see myself. In the strictest sense, Going Home is still a documentary no question. But I think it falls into a category which hasn't been clearly defined in my mind. Going Home is a documentary with a narrative sensibility... I will leave it at that...<div><br /></div><div>- Jason</div>Jason and Mikyunghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14862739552137426533noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522715469071334784.post-10769920197819904792009-03-24T14:39:00.001+09:002009-03-24T14:39:56.903+09:00Fitting InTo a certain extent, I think it's important to fit in. I don't mean this is a "conformist" way but rather it's important to find a place in which one feels comfortable. Whether it's a group of friends, a larger community, or even an area. There are so many ways that someone can identify ones' self. I think it's important to figure this out for yourself and not seek acceptance everywhere.<br /><br />Growing up, I never wanted to be a part of the Korean culture and embrace my heritage but by choice I wanted to as I grew older. Obviously, this is a personal choice and is one of the many ways I am comfortable identifying myself as.Jason and Mikyunghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14862739552137426533noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522715469071334784.post-52657481097880750082009-03-17T14:04:00.005+09:002009-03-17T14:20:36.552+09:00Featured in KoreAm Journal's March 2009 issue!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"A HEART-THROBBING DOCUMENTARY"</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">- KoreAm Journal</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VqUQSn9gWAY/Sb8ykKrECAI/AAAAAAAAAMc/mkUXawah3_Y/s400/KOREAM_March09+cover.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314021682242127874" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VqUQSn9gWAY/Sb8ysNRk1WI/AAAAAAAAAMk/bWRZQ2B5EoE/s1600-h/KOREAM_March09.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VqUQSn9gWAY/Sb8ysNRk1WI/AAAAAAAAAMk/bWRZQ2B5EoE/s400/KOREAM_March09.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314021820379485538" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>This is our first English press outside of Emerson College!

There is definitely a huge community and a much larger audience that seems to be interested in Going Home than just Korean Adoptees. Some people have started to ask me if it is weird that so much of my personal life is being published. Going into this process from the very beginning I knew that I would have to anticipate sharing intimate things about myself. I'm just glad that people have been able to identify with the themes and emotions of our film in their daily lives.<br /><br />- JasonJason and Mikyunghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14862739552137426533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522715469071334784.post-21487798956921678902009-03-13T15:47:00.006+09:002009-03-13T15:59:36.592+09:00New YorkIt has almost been a year since I moved to Los Angeles.
