Fraudulent documents, parents' disagreement. Shocking circumstances surrounded Korean adoptions to the USA.

Thousands of South Korean adoptees in the U.S. are discovering their adoptions may have involved fraudulent documents or lacked parental consent. Investigations revealed that many were adopted under false pretenses, with some experiencing abuse in adoptive homes. The South Korean government has apologized and plans to end international adoptions by 2029. Many adoptees are now searching for their biological families and facing issues like racism and citizenship uncertainty. Legal experts estimate that around 35,000 adoptees in the U.S. lack citizenship, with over half from Korea. Activists are calling for reparations and support for these individuals.
