In this Foreign Correspondent program, senior reporter with the Australian Broadcasting Commission, Mazoe Ford, investigates the adoption of children from South Korea since the end of the Korean war in 1953.

Something like 200,000 children were adopted internationally. Now adults, the adoptees are returning to South Korea for information about their birth parents and how they came to be adopted.

There are concerns amongst the adoptees about corruption, malpractice & human rights violations. These concerns have resulted in an official investigation into Korea’s international adoption scandal.
