SALEM — A man who
was adopted from South
Korea by Americans when
he was 3 years old landed
on Thursday in his native
country — one that is
completely unknown to him
— after he was deported from
the United States, an official
and his lawyer said.
U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement had
ordered Adam Crapser
deported because of criminal
convictions, including assault
and being a felon in posses-
sion of a weapon.
His life story highlights the
failings of an adoption system
that put him in the homes of
one set of parents who aban-
doned him and another that
physically abused him and
other adopted children, his
Seattle attorney, Lori Walls,
told The Associated Press in a
telephone interview.
ICE spokeswoman Rose
Richeson told AP in an email
that the 41-year-old Crapser
arrived in Seoul, South Korea,
on Thursday morning aboard
a commercial airline flight
escorted by ICE deportation
officers.
Richeson said Crapser
was arrested by ICE on Feb.
8 after serving a 60-day
sentence for menacing consti-
tuting domestic violence and
attempted coercion. He had
been held in an immigration
detention center in Tacoma,
Washington since then. A
judge could have allowed
Crapser to stay in America
but decided on deportation.
Crapser’s supporters said he
waived an appeal because he
couldn’t stand to stay in the
detention center any longer.
AP Photo/Gosia Wozniacka, File
Walls said she is aston-
ished that the fact that Crapser
“was adopted, abandoned and
abused, facilitated by the U.S.
government and the state of
Oregon ... carried relatively
little weight in the decision
that the immigration court
made.”
“The U.S. government
facilitated the adoption out
of Korea,” she said. “No one
followed up to make sure
he was safe. When that first
family abandoned him to
foster care he was not visible
— there was no follow-up.”
No one ever sought U.S.
citizenship for him. He and
his older sister were adopted
by a family who lived in
Michigan and who later aban-
doned them after they moved
to Oregon, Walls said.
Brother and sister were
split up. Crapser was even-
tually adopted by parents in
Oregon who assaulted him
and other children in their

care. His adoptive parents
were convicted of multiple
crimes. Crapser eventually
left the home and was arrested
after he broke in to retrieve
some of his belongings
from his orphanage in South
Korea, Walls said.
Crapser later got into
further trouble with the law.
He came under the scrutiny of
federal immigration author-
ities after he applied for a
Green Card and they saw his
criminal record.
“I’m hopeful Adam
figures out how to make a
life in that country, where he
doesn’t speak the language
read the language or know
anything about the culture,”
Walls said.

because of criminal convictions including assault and

Attorney says adoptee from
South Korea deported from U.S.
By ANDREW SELSKY
Associated Press
-0s
— Lori Walls, Adam
Crapser’s attorney
His birth mother in South
Korea, who had put her son
and daughter up for adoption
because she couldn’t afford to
keep him, is learning English
so she can communicate with
him when they’re reunited,
The New York Times
reported recently.
“His birth mother, because
of publicity in South Korea,
came forward,” Walls said,
adding that a DNA test proved
the relationship. Walls noted
that the mother is disabled,
has a low income “and can’t
be much help for him.”
“I spoke with Adam a
couple of days ago,” Walls
said. “He was trying to stay
positive, but I mean it was
clear talking to him that he
was scared. He’s going to a
country where he can’t even
read the street signs.”
Walls said there might be
legal remedies for Crapser to
return to the U.S. but that it
would be “an uphill battle.”

Most Hanford workers
OK with protection efforts
RICHLAND,
Wash.
(AP) — A survey of
workers on the Hanford
Nuclear Reservation found
that most were satisfied by
the actions of management
to address risks posed by
chemical vapors escaping
from radioactive waste
storage tanks.
However, some workers
also felt that improved
communication could help
alleviate continuing fear of
retaliation by management
over reporting health issues
and better inform workers
about the status of protec-
tion improvements.
“In our view, improving
these areas is critical to
ensuring that actions taken
to resolve the recommen-
dations for improvement
are transparent to members
of the workforce and
other interested parties,”
according to the report
issued Wednesday by the
U.S. Department of Energy
Office of Inspector General.
The Tri-City Herald
reported that seven of 52
workers interviewed for the
report were worried about
possible retaliation related
to complaining about health
issues from exposure to the
vapors.
Chemical
vapors
associated with Hanford
nuclear waste held in
underground tanks have
been blamed for symptoms
such as shortness of breath
and nosebleeds and may
cause serious neurological
and respiratory illnesses.
Hundreds of workers have
reported symptoms over
the years.
The waste is left from
the production of plutonium
for nuclear weapons.
Most workers felt they
were free to express their
concerns with management
on vapor risk, the report
said.
Of the seven workers
who
felt
differently,
one had filed a formal
complaint earlier this year
over concerns related to
retaliation. Other workers
reported that they thought
managers would ignore
concerns or that filing a
worker compensation claim
would put a worker “in a
bad position,” according to
the report.
