Adoption fraudABC News

AP: South Korea , Western countries and adoption agencies worked in tandem to supply some 200,000 Korean children to parents overseas.
Investigation was based on interviews with more than 80 adoptees in the U.S. , Australia and six European countries.
Government officials declined to answer questions about its past, saying it will let a fact-finding commission finish its work.
More than 90% of Korean children sent to the West almost certainly had known relatives.
When children processed for adoption died, became too sick to travel or were found by their biological families, agencies often replaced them with other children, former workers say.
Nobody knows how many Korean adoptions were questionable or even fraudulent.
