The Korean War ended in 1953 leaving many children poverty-stricken or orphaned by the war. Americans started adopting Korean children in the 1950’s. Though adoptive parents may have meant well, the emphasis was on cutting ties to Korea and raising the children in mostly white communities. More than 100,000 Korean adoptees live in the US, with more arriving every day.
