More than 500 Korean adoptees from 17 countries gather yesterday for the second convention of the International Korean Adoptee Association in Gwacheon, south of Seoul. The association, founded to represent the approximately 230, 000 Korean adoptees across the world, held a first-ever gathering in Korea in 2004 with 400 participants. This time, 510 adoptees and 40 or so adoptive parents are attending the five-day event that began yesterday. The adoptees will discuss problems they faced growing up and will unwind with friendly football matches tomorrow and an adoptee poker championship on Saturday. The issue of foreign adoption has become sensitive in Korea in recent years. By Kim Tae-seong
