Abstract:
Employing empirical and comparative analyses, this essay provides a historiographical intervention by reexamining South Korea's adoption patterns. The article reveals the current decline of Korean international adoption linked to its entrenchment as a transnational capitalist industry, highlights adult Korean adoptee activists' policy impacts, and suggests future potentials for the practice.
