The first major task of GOAL was to lobby for the inclusion of adoptees in the Overseas Koreans Act. This act was passed in 1999 and allowed adoptees residency on a F-4 visa. The visa gives every adoptee the right to reside and work in Korea for three years at a time and can be renewed.[1]
On 29 December 2010, GOAL opened its first overseas branch, GOAL USA, in Santa Barbara.[2]
Main Services
Birth Family Search in cooperation with adoption agencies, Korean and international media (KBS, YTN, National Assembly TV etc.)
GOAL also ran the Dual Citizenship Campaign[7] that granted adoptees Korean nationality. It is also advocating adoptees' rights within Korea.[8]
