South Korea to investigate suspect foreign adoptions.
South Korea's Truth and Reconciliation Commission will investigate 237 more cases of South Korean adoptees who suspect their family origins were manipulated to facilitate their adoptions in Europe and the United States. The new cases involve adoptees in 11 nations who were adopted from 1960 to 1990. The commission's potential findings could allow adoptees to take legal actions against agencies or the government. South Korea's government required foreign adoptions to go through family courts in 2013, ending a decadeslong policy that allowed agencies to dictate child relinquishments and international transfers of custodies.
