“To the Governments of South Korea and the United States (U.S.)

For decades, the international adoption system has hidden the truth from thousands of Korean adoptees. Recent investigations confirm what many adoptees have long suspected: records used to send children abroad were often falsified, erasing birth families and creating “paper orphans” out of children who were never truly abandoned. This system - created by both the South Korean and US governments – was driven by demand and exploitation, severing adoptees from their families, culture, and identities. These practices violate adoptees' human rights as codified in The Hague Adoption Convention (Hague Convention) and United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children (UNCRC) – treaties that one or both countries have signed.

This petition is a call for immediate, concrete action from both the South Korean and U.S. governments to deliver the justice and support adoptee adults deserve.
