Little incidents along the way serve as a catalyst which leads them into a worldwide modern-day adoptee-rights movement seeking truth and transparency.

Imagine believing you were “found on a street corner,” only to discover as an adult everything you were told about your origin was a lie. What if you were told you were abandoned but later learned that it was not uncommon for adoption agencies to routinely label and process children as if orphaned under the guise of charity to fill the global evangelical demand?
There are more than two-hundred thousand Korean-born adoptees and the child market has spread to every continent. Pick up this must-read book and live vicariously through the Vance Twins on this adventure of a lifetime.
Finding truth. This is a very insightful and well written book. Follows the struggles of an adoptive from Seoul South Korea. It is very emotional, heartbreaking and that the end a wonderful ending. I highly recommend this book and I think the author did a good job. -Amazon Review
