Korean Judicial Decision

Abstract

Abstract This Korean judicial decision concerns a case in which a child was adopted overseas following from the falsification of registration status and family records. The plaintiff, who was the child in question, sued the Social Welfare Organization B and the Republic of Korea for damages suffered in the international adoption process. The court found in favor of the plaintiff and ordered the Social Welfare Organization B to pay with interest. This case underscores the need for careful evaluation and oversight in international adoption processes to ensure that the best interests of the child are protected.
