From The New York Times:
Eleana Kim, associate professor of anthropology at the University of California, Irvine,
and author of “Adopted Territory: Transnational Korean Adoptees and the Politics of

set up homes for unwed pregnant women and took care of medical expenses with the expectation
that the women would agree to have their babies sent overseas.
