SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean adoption agencies sent children abroad like "luggage" for decades, labelling some as orphans when they had parents and sending alternative babies when infants had died before heading overseas, a truth commission said on Wednesday.
After a 2-year inquiry, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which was empowered by parliament, recommended the government make an official apology, carry out follow-up investigations and put relief measures in place for victims.
