South Korean adoptees sue Denmark over right to know birth families

Sofie Randel from South Korea was adopted in Denmark as a child with her brother

COPENHAGEN - Eight South Korean-born adoptees are suing Denmark for its role in their illegal adoptions decades ago, demanding the state admit responsibility for covering up their origins.

Sofie Randel was three years old when she arrived in Denmark with her younger brother in 1977, during a period of authoritarian rule in South Korea.
