[2005 National Assembly Audit] Ministry of Health and Welfare “Overseas adoption to be banned in 4 to 5 years”
Plan to completely ban overseas adoption in 4-5 years promoted.
At the National Assembly Audit on the 22nd, Kim Geun Tae, the Minister of Health and Welfare said, “We have to end our shameful practice of exporting children overseas while we agonize over our low birthrate.” He continued, “We will make a 4-5 year plan and establish policies to discontinue inter-country-adoption.”
In the process of responding to the questions from Representative Kim Choon Jin (Uri Party), Minister Kim said, “The largest obstacle to converting inter-country adoption to domestic adoption is the cultural emphasis on blood ties. We will prepare programs to change the cultural climate.”
According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, last year there were 2257 overseas adoptions compared to the 1641 domestic adoptions, unable to shed the stigma of exporting its orphans.

[2005 국정감사]金복지 “해외입양 4, 5년뒤 금지”
4∼5년 후 해외입양을 전면 금지하는 방안이 추진된다.
김근태(金槿泰) 보건복지부 장관은 22일 열린 국정감사에서 “저출산 때문에 고민하면서 계속 해외로 아동을 수출하는 부끄러운 관행을 이제 끝내야 한다”면서 “4∼5년 계획을 잡고 정책을 수립해 해외입양을 중단하도록 할 것”이라고 밝혔다.
김 장관은 김춘진(金椿鎭·열린우리당) 의원의 질의에 답변하는 과정에서 이같이 밝혔다. 김 장관은 “해외입양을 국내입양으로 전환하는 데 혈연중심문화가 가장 큰 걸림돌”이라며 “문화적 풍토를 전환시키는 프로그램을 마련하겠다”고 말했다.
복지부에 따르면 지난해 해외 입양 아동은 2257명으로 국내 입양(1641명)에 비해 38%나 많아 여전히 고아 수출국이라는 오명을 벗지 못하고 있다.
