Following the Australian government saying it is investigating the South Korean-based Eastern Social Welfare Society, other international adoptees have come forward requesting the government to broaden their enquiry.

For example, adoptee Kimbra Butterworth, who was born in Taiwan, says that she doesn’t know the identity of her biological parents because the adoption papers forged those names.

Another woman, Lynelle Long, was taken from Vietnam in 1973. When she applied for a driver’s license at the age of 16, she discovered her adoption had never actually been processed meaning the Australian immigration minister was technically her guardian.

Lynelle Long took her Australian adoptive father to court & had the adoption annulled. The man had sexually abused her & is now on the sex offender registry.
