A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within South Korea Who Chose To Be Featured
226. Kimkongjoo : Adoptive father was in the Army, stationed in South Korea when him and my adoptive mother met, married and adopted me. I had to get naturalized after adoption which was done in Kentucky. My Korean name is Kim Kong Joo. Was born in Daegu South Korea and apart of Social Welfare Society agency.
Family name is Kim and family origin is Han-Yang.
227. Joshcm76 : Hi, I am just curious on if my birth parents are out there and wondering how I ended up. I am from Pusan, South Korea and immediately put in a foster home. My parents had a letter explaining that they could not afford another child. I was adopted through Holt international. My name given at birth was Jin Kook Cho
230. Katiejeeyoun : My Korean name is Yoon Jee Youn. I was born December 1990. My birth mother and birth father were young when they had me. Maybe early twenties or younger. My parents were not married. I was born in a hospital in Seoul, and I have a sister who I believe is a year older than me. If I remember right, our first names are similar or shared. My adoption file said we were very close and my sister took care of me. We were placed for adoption at the same time, but my mother went back and got her shortly after. I do not have my adoption file to see more specifics, but I remember reading that my father liked to sing and he was very charismatic.
The American adoption agency, AIAA helped my adoptive parents find me. About 8 months after I’d been adopted, my birth mother wrote me a letter that was typed up and sent to my parents’ house by AIAA. She told me the meaning of my name, and hoped I wouldn’t be angry with her when I grew up. I could not be mad at her. I have thought about her and my sister my entire life. I am happy and I am still working hard to be a good daughter. I would like to update this message once I’m able to get my adoption file and add more specific information.
I will be in Seoul studying this summer and will try to find more information once I’m there.

235. Shahad88 : My name is Shahad, I think I’m adopted by a Saudi Family. I look Asian, and mostly Korean. I think my birth-brother name is, Kim Jong In, and he’s an idol from a boy group called exo.
236. Ifoundmccomb : I was born in 1973. The police found me a year later and I was brought to the precinct. A month later from being found I was adopted through Holt Adoption Agency.
I have a burn on my right foot‚ more of a branding to be honest in the shape of an oval. It is my understanding that some Koreans would mark their children so they could find them once again. I am hoping this to be true in my case.
I truly long to meet my family. I feel like I can’t live my life without resolving this first. The scar on my foot has always told me they never wanted to find me again.
