Membership rates.

Members pay a reduced rate for most (if not all) paid quarterly events. The amount you save is often enough to cover the costs of membership.

Voting privileges.

Members - those with full memberships and adoptees who pay student/hardship rates have full voting privileges. This applies to the annual board vote as well as select other votes, as needed.

BKA Library privileges.

BKA has a growing collection of over 100 books and films related to Korea and Adoption available to paid members. While anyone can view our library's contents, only BKA members have borrowing privileges. To learn more, click here.

Translation services.

Members - those with full memberships and adoptees who pay student/hardship rates are encouraged to use BKA's new translation services. Ms. Ah Lahm Shin has graciously agreed to volunteer her time and services to help translate letters, emails and documents. We cannot thank Ms. Shin enough for her generosity.

Priority access.

While we strive to make many events as accessible as possible, sometimes, due to circumstances beyond our control, space is limited. On these occasions, registration will be available to members first.
