Investigation Reveals Fraud in Korean Adoptions
An extensive investigation by The Associated Press has revealed that South Korea, in collaboration with Western governments and adoption agencies, facilitated the adoption of approximately 200,000 Korean children through dubious means, including kidnappings and falsified documents. Many adoptees have uncovered significant discrepancies in their adoption narratives, prompting a growing movement for accountability and a reckoning within the international adoption industry. Interviews with over 80 adoptees and analysis of thousands of documents demonstrated that children were often misrepresented, with agencies bribing mothers and misleading families about the fate of their children. In response to these findings, some European countries have ceased international adoptions, and the U.S. State Department has begun to investigate its historical role in these practices. As adoptees seek to uncover their true identities, the revelations have sparked widespread discussions about the ethics of international adoption practices. The South Korean government has initiated a fact-finding commission to review these cases under pressure from the affected individuals.
