Description: To Save the Children of Korea examines how and why the practice of international adoption began in Korea in the 1950s, and how it grew and spread to other sending and receiving countries around the world in the decades since.
Review Quotes: "An absolutely fascinating study of South Korea's role in the history of international adoption. After the 1950-53 Korean War, thousands of mixed-race 'GI babies' were shipped over to the US. Rejected by their native country for being 'racially impure', they were welcomed by American families looking to adopt, and by a US government that sought to reinforce its liberal status in the new Cold War environment."--Giulia Miller "Times Higher Education"
