Three adoptees from Chile sue the Danish state

Three adoptees from Chile have sued the Danish state for violating their right to family life. The plaintiffs claim the state approved, promoted, and contributed to their illegal adoptions despite possessing their “deficient” and “questionable” adoption papers. They argue that the state failed to effectively supervise the private organizations responsible for bringing them to Denmark.

Each plaintiff has demanded 250,000 kroner in compensation, a claim the Ministry of Social Affairs and Housing has rejected. Previously, eight adoptees from South Korea also sued the Danish state in similar cases, demanding 250,000 kroner each for human rights violations due to insufficient control over adoptions.
