Korean adoption started with Korean War
Intercountry adoption from Korea was started in the 1950s with the US and Holt agency. It soon allowed other nationalitys of couples to seek adoption. Right before 1988 the year Korea was to Hos the Summer Olympics the country suddenly decided to cut back on their inter country adoptions. Completed adoptions were the adoptive parents usually travels to Korea to pick up their adoptive child wasn't allowed and instead these children were sent on airplans with escorts. After 1988 there was a major decrease in completed inter country adoptions and after some year's Korea realized they weren't able care for their orphans and infants themselves so the limit for inter country adoptions were lifted.

Restrictions imposed on international adoption
Since introduced a quota system for allowed inter country adoptions it has resulted in extented waiting period for prospective foster parents. Which isn't that popular as supposedly younger children would be easier to get attached to. But this would allow Korea to seek for other options for young children before opting for international adoption
Bill #1812414
A new law has made it more difficult for prospective adoptive parents that wishes to adopt through international adoption , since the new law states that the government has to try all other avilable options before agreeing to international adoption. In the future there's a hope that the international adoptions of Korean children will decrease until an almost non existent level. Finally someone is willing to listen to the adoptees , although international adoption can be acceptable as long as it happening correctly. (Which in the past hasn't really happened).

| South Korea is shifting their policy towards family preservation instead of promtion of adoption. It also would enable adoptees to seek for their birth parents and to get access to birth records and in case of medical emergency they would get direct access to birth parents information if it is believed to save the life an adoptee. This is all thanks to Jane Jeong Trenka, Tammy Ko Robinson and Kim Stoker that assisted in the process of creating bill #1812414. © Taste of Kimchi, Elle Related posts: |
