South Korea plans to end adoptions by foreigners

South Korea’s government says it plans to end the waning foreign adoptions of Korean children. The announcement came Friday. United Nations investigators have voiced concern over what they described as Seoul’s failure to ensure truth-finding and reparations for human rights violations tied to overseas adoptions. A government minister says the country will phase out foreign adoptions over a five-year period. South Korea approved foreign adoptions of 24 children in 2025, down from around 2,000 in 2005 and an annual average of more than 6,000 during the 1980s. A South Korean commission has acknowledged state responsibility for facilitating a foreign adoption program rife with fraud and abuse.
