(주)사회복지회로부터 입수한 정보에 따르면 1980년 2월 21일 오후 4시 45분 서울 용산구 원효로4가 118-34번지에 있는 길에서 창업자로 구조됐다는 것이다. 산호아파트 근처에서 분홍색 스웨터를 입고 빨간 이불을 쌌습니다. 나는 내 출생 가족에 대한 정보가 없습니다. (주)사회복지회는 1980년 2월 21일 생년월일을 정하고 이름을 남효원으로 지었습니다. 나의 입양 가족이 지킨 이름과 Peter를 추가하여 새로운 나라인 캐나다에 포함되어 있다는 느낌을 받을 수 있습니다. 저는 1980년 10월 21일에 입양되어 새 보금자리를 얻었으므로 입양되기까지 10개월 동안 서울에 머물면서 사회복지회 아기수용소(SWS)를 담당했습니다.
나는 나의 기원을 정말로 알아야 한다. 그것은 나와 내 영혼이 내가 어디에서 왔는지 아는 깊은 필요입니다. 나는 당신의 삶에 간섭하고 방해하고 싶지 않습니다. 나는 내 인생의 후반부를 내가 누군지 알면서 보낼 수 있는 기회를 갖고 싶을 뿐입니다.
나는 한국어를 못하지만‚ 당신을 찾을 수 있는 기회를 더 많이 주기 위해 텍스트를 사용했습니다.

765. Silver_Pearl : Hello‚ I am searching for my birth family. I was abandoned around 1982/1983 in a taxi cab. I never spent time in an orphanage‚ but spent some time with a village elder before being taken to my adopted parents who were missionaries in South Korea. The only information I could give them was that my name was Kim EunJoo and I was three years old. I do not have any other information.
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
