Woman's search for birth parents leads to landmark South Korea adoption ruling via joshjonsmith

While laws vary widely from country to country, many jurisdictions are providing more information to adopted children about their biological parents. Advocates say South Korea’s policies remain relatively restrictive. “I think Kara’s journey, Kara’s fight, is meaningful because it reminds us that parents, society, and the state itself has public responsibility to clearly inform a child born in South Korean society about their roots,” he said.
The man was identified only by his surname, with no contact details and Bos said the family wished to remain anonymous. “At that point I realized that there is trauma involved in adoption, and it is much more complex than the saviour story,” Bos said.
