A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within South Korea Who Chose To Be Featured
976. ParkJung-Ok : Mom’s surname is Hwang. She’s second oldest out of 2 bothers and a sister. Only her father was alive at the time (1982).
Dad’s surname is Park. He was the oldest out of 4 sons.
I was Born 6/15/82 in a hospital in Daegu City or outside. Went to Holt‚ flew to US in September 82.
977. Kyky0187 : I was born Kang‚ Yeon Hee on January 18‚ 1987 in Gyeonggi-do. My biological mother’s name is Kang‚ Mal Sook who was 20 years old at the time of my birth. She was born in Gyeongsangbuk-do‚ the 5th of 6 children. My biological father was Kim‚ Choong Yeol who was 26 years old at the time of my birth. He was born in Goheung-gun‚ the 1st of 5 children. My biological mother visited Esther’s Home (a care center for unmarried pregnant women) prior to giving birth to me.
I was adopted on May 9‚ 1987 to a loving family.
I am very happily married with two beautiful young children. My son is 4.5 years old and my daughter 22 months old. We currently live in Virginia.
979. AmyLynn88 : My name is Amy and my korean name was Kim Boo Hee. I was born in Seoul‚ South Korea. My mother had left me in front of the door of the orphanage. My estimated birthday was the year of 1988. I am just curious of what my biological mom is like and why she had given me up for adoption.
981. JooJeonLee : Honestly‚ i’m 22 years old and i’m curious about where i come from. My Korean/birth name is Joo YeonLee‚ but my name is Cat Harper. I honestly dont know much and dont expect much out of this but i thought id try.
982. SuzannePollack60 : I am looking for my twin sister. I’m assuming we have the same birth date‚ given that our names and other vital statistics may have been changed to hide our identities.
We were born in Seoul‚ South Korea at or near Paju town or city. Our mother’s name is/was Shin‚ Kyoo-Soon.
I was surrendered for adoption Christmas Eve 1962‚ so I’m guessing we were all together for nearly a year.
My bio parents took me to a Presbyterian church close by but they referred them to Holt Children’s Services‚ now known as Holt International‚ somewhere in Seoul‚ where I was surrendered to.
I went to Korea back in 2016 to do a birth search through G.O.A.L. And was given a translator and went to Paju town. We ended up at a police station there‚ and the police woman searched the internet to look for my mother’s name. She found ten women with the same name. Seven of these women were deceased and three were still living. So she called the three living women and asked each one if they ever surrendered one or both girls to adoption Christmas Eve of 1962. All three said no. So either my bio mother is dead or doesn’t acknowledge our existence.
984. Srweb0 : My grandfather had a son in Korea‚ who he left behind. He was an American soldier in the army. His name was Paul Moses Haltiwanger. He left the child there and they may or may not have been adopted. I believe he was born in 1955‚ but am not positive. He served from March 1953-May 1955.
986. EternalKindnessInGU : Born in jeolla buk do on Nov 6 1996
Mother’s maiden name is Kim
