Later, in April 1994, she co-founded a branch in Korea with a Swedish Korean-born adoptee, to create the first-ever adult adoptee association (E-K.L-Korea). When in 1997, the Belgian association changed its name to Ko-Bel, The E-K.L-Korean Branch was renamed “Korean Overseas Adoptees” (K.O.A. or “koa” means “orphan” in Korean).
