South Korea has long been recognized as the world's largest "baby exporter," sending hundreds of thousands of children abroad in the aftermath of war and widespread poverty.
Many of these adopted children, now adults scattered worldwide, have accused adoption agencies of corruption and malpractice, including allegations of forcibly separating them from their mothers.
A recent report by a Korean government commission corroborates these claims and reveals new evidence of the coercive tactics employed to pressure mothers into relinquishing their children.
 
That’s heartbreaking. The revelations about forced separations and corruption within the adoption system show the deep impact this has had on so many families. It’s important these stories are being brought to light for justice and accountability.
