What makes the case of South Korea remarkable is the sheer scale of the activity that has taken place around the adult adoptees' return, and by extension the national significance that has been accorded to these family meetings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInformed by the author's own experience as an adoptee and two years of ethnographic research in Seoul, as well as an analysis of the popular television program \"I Want to See This Person Again,\" which reunites families, \u003ci\u003eMeeting Once More\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on an understudied aspect of transnational adoption: the impact of adoptees on their birth country, and especially on their birth families. The volume offers a complex and fascinating contribution to the study of new kinship models, migration, and the anthropology of media, as well as to the study of South Korea.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 231\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 06, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43155079790655,"sku":"9780814760260","price":123.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ppeAcjEwO69780814760260.webp?v=1776962029","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/meeting-once-more-the-korean-side-of-transnational-adoption-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
