Welcome

 The Amerasian Unity Foundation (AUF) was founded by Frankie and Tia Legoski in Southern California. This is a Christ Based Mission Outreach Non-profit Organization.
During and after the Korean War in 1950's, great numbers of the US servicemen were stationed in South Korea. Thousands of Korean/American children were born as the result of war-time relationships between American servicemen and Korean women. Up until then Korea has been known as a mono cultural and racial society. Since most Koreans never met different skin and hair colored people, prior to Korean War, they were extremely discriminatory toward Amerasians.

Many of the Amerasians have lost their father to the Korean or the Vietnam War. During the Korean War, interracial marriages between American serviceman and the Korean women were strongly discouraged by US Military. Due to great difficulties they faced in interracial marriages, American Servicemen returned back to their homeland. That is one of many reasons, Korean women were left with Amerasian children without their father.

South Korea during 1950’s through 1970’s presented very poor and harsh environment for both mother and Amerasian children. In an act of great motherly love for their children, mothers had to given up their young sons and daughters to the adoption agencies and orphanages. They believed the best option available for their Amerasian children was to let them be adapted to a new family in USA or in other Western countries.

Number of years had been passed since thousands of Korean Amerasians who were adopted. For those adoptees wish to find their mother, siblings or other family members, we are here to help.

We have been actively involved in many voluntary works such as;

•  Amerasian Support Group
•  Family Search
•  Prison Ministry
•  Social Networking
•  Humanitarian Relief Programs
