KSS (Korea Social Service) Birth Family Search News Update - February 2025.

We spoke with someone familiar with KSS and birth family search, and it's believed that KSS may have just ONE remaining social worker at KSS. (Previously there were 3).

KSS is only accepting appointments twice per week, with one morning and one afternoon appointment. They are strongly prioritizing KSS Adoptees who have NEVER been to KSS before.

They are focused on the file movement to NCRC in July 2025 which is why they do not offer many in-person appointment timeslots at KSS in Seoul. The person we spoke with also agrees that the file movement of ALL Korean Adoption files (including KSS files) to the Korean Government Agency NCRC (National Center for the Rights of the Child) will be really bad for Adoptees.
