help adding map coordinates

Hi there. Many American and European families who are traveling to Korea have trouble finding the Seoul office (headquarters) of Holt International/Holt Korea. Can someone add the coordinates, in the correct template, for their new office? The coordinates are +37° 32' 55.63", +126° 54' 40.19" (the address is 19 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul; but because of the addressing convention there, doesn't show up quite right unless you use the coordinates). I have no idea how to select the correct template for this or how to get it to float to the top of the article so that google spiders it and drops a Wikipedia link into the correct map layer. Thank you!! 192.234.214.110 (talk) 23:20, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Holt adoption agency scandal

https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2024/09/widespread-adoption-fraud-separated-generations-of-korean-children-from-their-families.html By The Associated Press In the early 1980s, the government itself likened the agencies’ child-hunting practices to “trafficking.” Private counseling records in a 1988 document prepared by the country’s largest adoption agency, Holt Children’s Services, show that some parents who relinquished their children soon pleaded for them back, with no success. The document, obtained by AP, describes how agency’s workers told parents that their children would thrive in good Western families and may return home someday rich or “with Ph.Ds.” The mothers of biracial children didn’t always want to give them up, records show. In a letter to his wife in 1956, Harry Holt wrote: “One poor girl almost had hysterics in the office. She thought she could keep track of her baby after he had gone to America. I had to tell her it was a clean break and forever. Poor girl, her baby wasn’t weaned yet and she cried and cried.” 2601:648:C100:3D00:5767:577F:E7C6:C0EB (talk) 19:50, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
