In 1980, two-year-old Moses Farrow was among the 200,000 babies and children taken from South Korean orphanages and children’s homes and sent overseas – sold to new families who promised to give them the sort of lives they could never have in their own country.

Moses, who had been born with Cerebral Palsy, was flown to the United States where he was welcomed into the large, blended family of Hollywood royalty, Mia Farrow, who had three older children from her previous marriage to world renowned composer Andre Previn, and a mum to three other adopted children.

Tragically, while the new addition to her family made headlines everywhere, behind the closed doors of the US actress’s luxury New York apartment, little Moses’s life was far from the Hollywood fairytale portrayed in the media.

Today, Moses – now a family therapist specialising in children suffering from adoption trauma – tells Moyra and Megan about the anguish of growing up in a highly dysfunctional abusive family to expose the truth behind a  $236 billion industry in which children are no more than disposable commodities in a global child trafficking industry which needs to be recognised for what it is – one of the biggest human rights crimes of our generation.
