Overcoming Adversity: The Resilience of the Vance Twins

The Vance Twins have faced numerous challenges but somehow managed to recover. For starters, they were told they were abandoned on a street in Seoul at birth, which prompted their flight overseas to the United States in the early 1970s. This memoir is of their childhood before smartphones, social media, or knowledge of the adoption industry.

Travel for fun with the Vance Twins during their first trip to Seoul, South Korea! This adventure takes place 20 years ago during what Janine calls “the dark ages” before social media, worldwide investigations into adoption agencies (where now the twins are participants ’22), and Janine’s visionary and pioneering of the Adoption Trafficking Awareness Symposium.

Ever wonder what adopted people are saying about adoption right now? This anthology begins with personal accounts and then shifts to a bird’ s-eye view of adoption from domestic, intercountry, and transracial adoptees who are now adoptee rights activists. For many years, adopted people have dealt with such matters alone, not knowing that all of us—as a community—have a great deal in common.

This collection, compiled by Korean adoptees, is a tribute to transracially adopted people sent worldwide. It has been hailed as the first book to allow Korean adoptees to speak freely since the pioneering intercountry adoption after the Korean War.
