AB - International adoption has a ‘transnational’ nature in that it is a universal phenomenon at the global level. In terms of transnational migration, international adoption shows a very unique pattern of migration that adoptees cross the border regardless of their own will or choice, unlike general migration such as labor migration or marriage migration, and that can be defined as ‘involuntary migration by contract’ between the parties concerned. In fact, Korea was the world’s largest adoption-out country where many Korean adoptees were sent to France after the United States from the 1970s to the mid-1990s. Nevertheless, the history of Korean international adoption has long been forgotten, sometimes even concealed and not subject to research under the stigma of a national figure of ‘baby exporting country’. So, the purpose of this study is to clarify the position and meaning of international adoption in the history of transnational migration by revealing the historical background and realities of Korean international adoption. To this end, I will focus on two aspects, the interracial adoption policy of France, and the pattern of adopting Korean females in France and the issue of their identity, basing on the cases of France from the 1960s to the 1990s.
