"Some 600 adoptees from South Korea recently attended a convention in
Seoul to share experiences and to learn more about their birth country.
Since the Korean War in the 1950s, more than 200,000 orphaned South
Korean babies have been sent to live with Western families - over half
of them to American homes. While the number of overseas adoptions from
South Korea has declined, it still sends about 2,000 children abroad
each year."
