Han Tae-soon

Han Tae-soon is a South Korean mother who spent 44 years searching for her daughter, who was taken from her and adopted internationally. After a long and heartbreaking journey, she finally reunited with her daughter in 2019 through DNA testing and the assistance of an organization dedicated to reuniting adoptees with their biological families. Han's story highlights the painful legacy of illegal adoptions in South Korea, where many children were falsely declared orphans and sent abroad.
