Ellen S. Lee, MSS is a licensed clinical social worker. Korean-born, Ms. Lee came to the U.S. with her family at the age of 10. Ms. Lee's interest in Korean adoptees began when she met Marilyn Lammert and her adopted son, Adam, and became involved in their search for Adam's birth family in Korea. Though not adopted, Ms. Lee can relate to the adoptees' sense of disconnect from their birth country, loss of language, culture and identity confusion. She lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
