The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of the Republic of Korea decided to investigate cases of human rights violations in the process of foreign adoption on Thursday. This is the second decision to investigate such cases, following the first decision in December last year.
The applicants alleged that they suffered kidnapping and were adopted without the consent of their parents. Additionally, the applicants assert that their original identities and information about their birth families were tampered with. Meanwhile, the applicants’ files as orphans were manipulated to expedite the cross-border transfer of their custody. In particular, most applicants raised the issue of records being tampered with, with many claiming to have been mistreated during the adoption process by the facilities that housed them or by their adoptive parents.
Some applicants submitted information about their biological parents. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, after confirming this information and determining that they were orphans, decided to launch an investigation.
In the case of human rights violations in the process of foreign adoption (I), there are 34 applicants. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission said it would investigate another 237 cases of South Korean adoptees and expanded the inquiry to 11 nations, including the United States, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
The National Commission of Inquiry in the Netherlands also participated in the investigation. It found illegal practices and serious violations of the human rights of children and their biological parents during the adoption process. According to the survey, South Korea was the most significant source of adopted children in the Netherlands from 1970 to 1979.
In Sweden and Denmark, committees under the relevant ministries are currently investigating the illegality of adoption procedures.
