Today, it is being argued that South Korea has the economic wealth to take care of her own children and should abolish the practice of intercountry adoption. It has been trying. In 1996 the South Korean government revised its adoption law stipulating an annual decrease of international adoptions by 3 to 5 percent, with an eventual phasing out by 2015. Since then the number of Korean children sent overseas for adoption has hovered around 2,000 children annually. - relativechoices.blogs.nytimes.com
