Korean BBQ Dinner

Join us in welcoming a leader and advocate in the Adoptee Community, Pastor Kim.

Pastor Kim has been an advocate for adoptees and thought leader for over 20 years. During this time, he also managed Koroot, which was a hostel specifically for adoptees visiting Seoul, South Korea. He's helped countless adoptees not only by providing refuge and a home while overseas, but also in their birth searches and teaching us traditions that we'd either long forgotten, or never had the chance to learn. 📜

For those who may be located downtown and need a ride, please simply let me know and we can arrange carpool options.

RSVP: President@asianadoptees.ca

Twinsters is Sam's directorial debut. In this documentary, she chronicles her reunion with her identical twin sister she never knew she had. Her sister, who was adopted to and raised in Paris, France, and Sam reunite and together they embark on a return trip to their homeland, South Korea.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the behind the scenes, as well as what has transpired since this documentary was released (2015). It's a rare glimpse to gain insights from the adoptee who is both behind and in front of the camera.
