In 1977, Mia Farrow and André Previn adopted [[Soon-Yi Previn]] from [[Seoul]], South Korea. She had been abandoned. The Seoul Family Court established a Family Census Register (legal birth document) on her behalf on December 28, 1976, with a presumptive birth date of October 8, 1970.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1TYoAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Soon+Hee+Oh,+aka+Soon+Yi+Oh%22|title=United States Congressional serial set|date=1977|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UPBIAQAAMAAJ&q=%22October+8%22|title=Congressional Serial Set|date=1978|publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office|language=en}}</ref> According to Mia Farrow, a bone scan in the U.S. estimated that she was between six and eight years old ("We're saying seven") in early 1978, in accordance with the Seoul Family Court's information.<ref name="time.com">{{cite web|last1=Corliss|first1=Richard|date=August 31, 1992|title=Woody Allen and Mia Farrow: Scenes From A Breakup|url=https://time.com/archive/6721062/woody-allen-and-mia-farrow-scenes-from-a-breakup/|access-date=December 11, 2024|website=Time.com}}</ref> According to Previn, her first friendly interaction with Allen took place when she was injured playing soccer during [[Eleventh grade|11th grade]] and Allen offered to transport her to school.

In January 1992, Farrow found nude photographs of Previn in Allen's home. Allen, then 56, told Farrow that he had taken the photos the day before, about two weeks after he first had sex with Previn.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Perez-Pena|first1=Richard|date=March 23, 1993|title=Nude Photographs Are Focus Of Woody Allen's Testimony|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/03/23/nyregion/nude-photographs-are-focus-of-woody-allen-s-testimony.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180117221845/https://www.nytimes.com/1993/03/23/nyregion/nude-photographs-are-focus-of-woody-allen-s-testimony.html|archive-date=January 17, 2018}}</ref> Both Farrow and Allen contacted lawyers shortly after the photographs were discovered.<ref name=Stern10Feb2014/><ref name="OrthNov1992">{{cite news|last=Orth|first=Maureen|author-link=Maureen Orth|date=August 5, 2008|title=Mia's Story|magazine=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/archive/1992/11/farrow199211|url-status=live|access-date=November 16, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090221205817/http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/archive/1992/11/farrow199211|archive-date=2009-02-21}}</ref> Previn was asked to leave summer camp because she was spending too much time taking calls from a "Mr. Simon", who turned out to be Allen.<ref name="Hoban" />

In an August 1992 interview with ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine, Allen said, "I am not Soon-Yi's father or stepfather", adding: "I've never even lived with Mia. I've never in my entire life slept at Mia's apartment, and I never even used to go over there until my children came along seven years ago. I never had any family dinners over there. I was not a father to her adopted kids in any sense of the word." Saying that Soon-Yi never treated him as a father figure and that he rarely spoke to her before their romantic relationship, Allen seemed to see few or no problems with their relationship.<ref>{{cite web|date=July 30, 2015|title=A history of Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn describing their relationship, from "the heart wants what it wants" to "I was paternal"|url=https://www.salon.com/2015/07/30/a_history_of_woody_allen_and_soon_yi_previn_describing_their_relationship_from_the_heart_wants_what_it_wants_to_i_was_paternal/|website=Salon}}</ref>
