Nov. 10, 2009 public hearing on adoption law revisions at the S. Korean parliament, sponsored by Democratic Party Rep. Choi Young-hee. This is the introduction of the bill created by the coalition of TRACK, ASK, KoRoot, the Gonggam Public Interest Lawyers, and the Miss Mamma Mia unwed mothers' group. Speakers of special interest: 55:20 Choi XX, Chair, Miss Mamma Mia NGO for Unwed Mothers 2:12:36 Kwong Hee Jung, Unwed Korean Mothers Support Network 2:16:56 Mok XX, unwed mother (sorry about the bad editing here) 2:16:02 - This is the ministry (not anti-corruption). If you take the time to listen to the whole thing, you can hear discussions about the practice of making unwed mothers who have been pressured to give their children for adoption pay (in cash) to take their children back once they have already relinquished them to an adoption agency. Apologies for the mistakes in editing. We are still figuring out the technology and will put up a corrected version when time allows.
