Innocent children were parents but were described as an orphan. Why? So that they can be sent to the countries of America and Europe for adoptionIf a child died before sending, then another child was sent in his name. You know who was doing all this? The answer is by the earlier governments of South Korea. The spots of this crime on the country’s sins have now been accepted by the government itself. The official investigation by South Korea said that the government manipulated the document and records, sent local children abroad without consent from the family so that they should be adopted. Now the government has officially recommended forgiveness.
“It has been found that the government did not perform its duty … resulting in a violation of human rights of adopters protected by the constitution and international agreements during the process of sending a lot of children abroad,” South Korea’s Truth and Riconsyliation Commission said in a statement.
South Korea today remains Asia’s fourth largest economy and global power house of culture. But another truth is that it remains one of the biggest exporters of innocent children in the world. Talking about international adoptation, this country has sent more than 140,000 children abroad between 1955 and 1999.
Why South Korea sent innocent children abroad for adoption
According to the AFP report, the tricks were drawn to expel children of mixed breed from local women and American soldiers after the Korean War- International Adoption. You will ask why a country will remove children of mixed breed. Actually South Korea emphasizes ethnic uniformity.
Further, it became a big business in the 1970s to 1980s. International adopted agencies received millions of dollars, as the country overcame the poverty after the war and made rapid and aggressive economic development.
Black acts revealed in investigation
The country’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission investigated two years and seven months. After this, in a historic announcement, he said that human rights were violated in the international adoption of South Korea’s children. In this, children who were not orphans were also described as orphans. His identity was tampered with. Even adequate parents who were adopted were not enough. It also states that “Many cases were identified where children’s Korean birth parents were not even taken legally consent.
The commission also said that the South Korean government failed to regulate the adoption fees. The agencies continued to pay fees in an argument to compromise among themselves. In this way, the work considered to be sacred like adoption turned into a profitable industry.
Park Sun-Young, chairman of the commission’s commission, said, “These violations should never have happened. It is a shameful part of South Korea’s history.”
According to the AFP report, Korean people adopted for years (who were sent abroad for adoption in childhood) have advocated their rights. Many people have said that their birth mothers were forced to leave their children. In this way, records were prepared to make children legally adopted.
Some South Korean parents also claimed that their children were kidnapped. The agents used to search for unclaimed children in poor areas and pick them up. Not only this, the officials sent the lost children to adopt them without trying to reconcile with their families. In some cases, the identity of the child was deliberately changed.
