I just wanted to share some of the videos that people have produced for Voice of Love so far. As I shared before, Voice of Love is a campaign thats focus is advocating on behalf of the orphaned children of Korea. The Korean government has been working to reduce the number of international adoptions with the ultimate goal of one day eliminating them entirely. They do this to help encourage adoptions domestically in their own country. Unfortunately, Koreans adopt only a small fraction of orphans in Korea. There are currently 20,000 children in South Korea waiting to be adopted, and too many will never have a forever family. Samuel is one of the lucky ones.
Voice of Love has been collecting videos from those that have been blessed by Korean adoption. Hopefully the Korean government will take notice and change their stance on international adoption and eliminate the quota.
The deadline for submission of videos has been extended to April 23rd. For more on the Voice of Love campaign go here: http://voiceoflove.org/ Also here is a really good blog post that explains the current adoption situation in Korea more thoroughly: In Defense of Adoption
Enjoy the videos!
