828. HaSuh87 : According to the papers I have‚ I was born in a private clinic in Namwon City‚ Junbuk Province‚ South Korea‚ 01.05.1987. I was taken to Holt Children’s Service as soon as I was born. I lived at Junjoo Baby home until I was adopted to Norway‚ 11.08.1987.
My given name was Suh Ha Jung (K 87-1666).
The only information about biological parents I have:
The unmarried natural mother (18) came from peasant stock. She was attending senior high school in a town‚ living alone in a rented room. In the beginning of 1987‚ se met the natural father (20). She became unintentionally pregnant while being temporarily involved with him. She‚ who was a senior high school student‚ referred the baby to Holt for adoption in consideration of the baby’s better future as she was not in a position to bring up the baby alone.
830. Ktcrcne : I don’t know much except that my birth name was Hee Eun and surname was Jeong. I was born to a single woman who attempted to care for me but eventually gave me to an adoption clinic. I was told that she had a few substance issues‚ I came out fine though. My birth place was in Gyeonggi-do‚ and my birth father was absent during all this. I was adopted at 2 months and left Korea to the US in February.
831. FearDaFluffy : Was born in 1994 in South Korea and was living with foster mom there until he was adopted to a US couple around the age of 2. Has picture of himself and foster mom. No info on biological parents.

834. SusanDK : I was born near Seoul and in an orphanage for 13 months. I was adopted through Holt services. According to a genealogy report‚ I am 100% Korean‚ but have features that made me think I was not (different eye shape‚ green/grey eyes‚ and naturally wavy hair).
836. Stefro24 : He was adopted to the O’Shura Family in the US and his adoptive name is Daniel O’Shura. His birth name is Young Min Quan and he was born premature‚ I am trying to help surprise him before our wedding next year. He was interested in starting the process to meet them and I want to see if I can do this‚ from what I know the adoption agency he was adopted through closed and he believes he has 2 older siblings. Im tempted to try the 23 and me to make this move quicker but I also would like to surprise him.
837. SeoulWhitehead : my mother was adopted from Seoul‚ South Korea around 1970 via the Holt Adoption Agency by a family who picked her up in Chicago‚ Illinois. Her birth name was Dah Mi Kim (i think)‚ and her name later became Kym Dah Mi Whitehead (Ambelang). She passed away unexpectedly in November of 2022‚ and I am her only known biological relative. I am desperate to find any other family members of hers/ ours. Thank you

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.
