KSS (Korea Social Service) English Adoptive Child Study Summary Examples.
Below are examples of the various styles of the ENGLISH Adoptive Child Study Summary. Learn about the difference between the English Adoptive Child Study Summary (which, depending on your case, may contain less truthful information such as you were “abandoned” and found with a “paper-slip” or “memo” in your “clothing”) and the Korean Adoptive Child Study Summary (which may contain more truthful information) on the Orphanization page here.
Please Note: The ENGLISH Adoptive Child Study Summary is a 3-4 page document. The examples below are variations of the styles of the FIRST page ONLY.
The KOREAN Adoptive Child Study Summary is the document most likely to contain the most truthful information about your origin, sometimes (though not always) including birth parent and possibly sibling information. Learn how to request the KOREAN Adoptive Child Study Summary here.
