The aftermath of President Moon Jae-in’s remarks at the New Year’s press conference of’adoption cancellation’ continues. In addition, the Democratic Party announced that it will “complement the current adoption system” to highlight President Moon’s sincerity, but criticism focused on adoption groups and opposition parties continued for the second day.
Democratic Party Policy Committee Chairman Hong Ik-pyo said at the party’s in-hospital countermeasure meeting on the 19th, “The pre-consignment system has been routinely used in Korea with the consent of the concessionary mother. Regarding the pre-commissioning system, he explained that “for the six months prior to the adoption approval, prospective adoptive children are entrusted to prospective parents’ families to protect children through monitoring, follow-up, and evaluation, and to help safe adoption” In fact, some countries abroad, such as France and the UK, have a pre-consignment system essential.
At a New Year’s press conference the day before, President Moon explained the countermeasures for the’Jung Ini case’, who died of child abuse, and said, “It is necessary to cancel the adoption within a certain period of time or to change the adopted child.” It was read as if it was a remark that’we should break it easily’. However, the Democratic Party explained that President Moon’s remarks are based on the pre-consignment system to complement the current adoption system.
The Blue House also tried to rectify the excommunication. Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok appeared on the MBC radio that day and said, “There was too much expression to be returned to children (at the opposition party). The purpose of the presidential remark is to supplement the adoption system to promote adoption.” “I don’t have the president’s intention or the consciousness of’returning children’ in my mind.” “I’m rather curious about how such an idea was possible,” he said.
However, despite the explanation of the Blue House, public opinion does not easily subside. The National Federation of Adopted Family members held a press conference in front of the National Assembly on this day and said, “Most prospective adoptive parents who are under the prior foster care system form a stable relationship with their children.” It was a second offense.” Also, it is pointed out that the nature of the case is’child abuse’, but it is a problem that he expresses misunderstandings as if the adoption family was a problem.
The political circles also poured out criticism at once. Ho-young Joo said at the party’s in-house countermeasures meeting, “I felt great disappointment and shock at President Moon’s perception that measures to cancel adoption or change adopted children were necessary.” did. The Justice Party also pointed out that “the President’s remarks about’changing children’ are extremely inappropriate even considering the clarification of the Blue House that the reinforcement of the prior entrusted protection system is in mind” (Sim Sang-jung).
