Adoptee Rights Campaign

Kim Malcolm talks with Jenny Kim about why so many international adoptees in the U.S. don't have citizenship. Jenny Kim is vice chair of the Korean American Coalition and an organizer with the Adoptee Rights Campaign. She's an advocate for Adam Crapser, a 41-year-old Washington man who was adopted from South Korea as a toddler. He's now facing deportation over criminal charges.
