A landmark report released Wednesday detailed complaints from hundreds of adoptees in Europe, the United States, and Australia, shedding light on a foreign adoption program that sent around 200,000 South Korean children abroad. The investigation was the most comprehensive of its kind, revealing the challenges faced by adoptees who were sent overseas.

The report highlighted the difficulties faced by adoptees, including issues related to identity, mental health, and the lack of information about their birth families. Many adoptees expressed a desire to reconnect with their Korean heritage and roots, emphasizing the importance of understanding their cultural background and history.

The findings of the report underscored the need for improved support and resources for international adoptees, as well as the importance of addressing the long-term impact of transnational adoption programs. The experiences shared by adoptees highlighted the complexities and challenges associated with international adoption, calling for greater awareness and understanding of the issues faced by those who were adopted from South Korea.
