NY Times on the plight of unwed mothers in Korea

From time to time I will post articles and links that are relevant to South Korea that I find either fun, interesting, or thought-provoking...

Below is a New York Times article published last week worth reading for those interested in Korea, adoption, and/or the plight of women around the world:

Group Resists Korean Stigma for Unwed Mothers

The article gives a glimpse into the social dynamics of the family in Korea and female reproductive rights here, as well as offers a more difficult but permanent and foundational alternative to the "rescue" mentality of international adoption.
