내용

Busan Metropolitan City announced that it will hold the 21st Busan Metropolitan City Adoption Day Commemorative Ceremony (hereinafter referred to as the “ceremony”) at 10:00 a.m. on May 9 in the main auditorium of the National Maritime Museum.

Adoption Day, observed on May 11, was established to promote a healthy adoption culture and encourage domestic adoption. The date symbolizes the idea that during Family Month in May, “one family adds one life to become a new family (1+1).”

To mark the 21st Adoption Day this year, the ceremony will be held to promote positive awareness of adoption and provide an opportunity for communication among adoptive families.

Approximately 120 participants, including adoptive families, related organizations, and citizens, are expected to attend the event. Programs will include awards for distinguished contributors to adoption, performances by a children’s choir of adopted children, stories from adoptive families, hands-on experience programs, and public awareness activities to improve understanding of adoption.

In addition, promotional activities for Adoption Week will also take place. At 10:00 a.m. on May 11, Busan Metropolitan City and the Korea Adoption Promotion Society will jointly host a public awareness campaign for Adoption Week at the plaza in front of the Central Library of Kyungsung University.

Through this campaign, adoption information, updates on the adoption system reform, adoption counseling, and surveys will be provided for young adults and citizens interested in adoption who may not yet have established perceptions about adoption. Free beverages will also be offered to participants.

Park Seol-yeon, Director General of the Women and Family Bureau of Busan Metropolitan City, stated, “We will do our utmost to promote adoption policies that place the rights and interests of children first, so that adoption may continue to flourish as a beautiful outcome that provides children with loving families and bright futures, while bringing families a greater love and happiness beyond compare.”
