[%%IMAGE1%%] A baby who is waiting to be adopted plays with a paper-folded plane with the woman who takes temporary care of her during the Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs’ ceremony marking Adoption Day, a national day to promote and support domestic adoption in South Korea, at the Seoul COEX, May 11th. May is considered family month in Korea, and the 11th was selected to signify that one family plus one adoptee can make a new, loving home.Some civic organizations and Korean adoptee groups urge the government to seek an alternative to adoption by supporting women’s rights in South Korea and increasing financial support and services for single and unwed mothers, so that ‘one plus one’ might also equal one birth mother’s ability to keep her child.
