Inside the Conservative Movement to Promote Adoption

The mothers of ModernAdoptionPlans.org have a message for women who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant: You, too, can turn this difficult time into a rewarding experience by relinquishing your baby for adoption.

However, an unexpected situation is unfolding. The babies sent away are returning to South Korea in middle age, asking, “Do I have the right to live as a Korean?”
