Seoul – South Korea – (HRNW)– South Korea has announced a historic plan to phase out foreign adoptions by 2029, marking a major policy shift after decades of global criticism.
The decision comes amid sustained pressure from the United Nations and adoptee advocacy groups who documented systemic fraud, falsified records, and abuse in past adoption practices. Government officials pledged to strengthen domestic child welfare systems, improve oversight, and offer reparative support to international adoptees seeking reconnection with their birth families.
