A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within South Korea Who Chose To Be Featured
1006. RachelMJP : I was adopted through IAI adoption agency from Sung Ro Won Babies Home in Seoul‚ South Korea and came to the United States on May 25‚ 1984
1007. Vmjohnson65 : It’s really important for any child to know their birth parents and it’s terrible that my birth in S Korea was so shameful that the S Korean government did not think I belonged there because I was born to a Black father (US Military) and a Korean single mother.
1008. JustmetheKAD : According to my adoption paperwork‚ my birth mother (Sook J. Kim) was full blooded Korean and was born around 1942. She had a common law marriage relationship with my biological father before they parted ways on 30 Apr 1971. My biological father was born sometime around 1940 and was in the US military‚ stationed in South Korea for an unknown length of time. My birth mother relinquished me to KSS Inc in Seoul on 19 Feb 1972. I was adopted internationally and flown to the United States (Minnesota) on 30 Aug 1972.
I have DNA tested with Ancestry and 23andMe. I have several DNA matches with the surname Ward on my paternal side.
1009. Sk2az : According to my records‚ I was born in Inchon City at a hospital. I was then moved to Seoul where I stayed with a foster mom. I was adopted through Holt International. I don’t know if the records Holt provided can be trusted‚ but they wrote that my mother was 19 and that my father was a few years younger.

Not sure how accurate this is. I’ve done a DNA test and I am Japanese with a little Chinese. The name I was assigned on my birth registration is Chul yeom‚ but I was told that is just the name that they assigned me. I’m not sure how accurate the club is accurate this information is because my adoptive family doesn’t want to find my birth family.

In December 1974 KSS sent us overseas to NJ‚ USA to the same family. We are seeking to make contact with birth parents and or family members.
1017. Jennster45 : Hi‚ I am looking for my birth family. I have no information about my past. I was told I was left on church steps when I was a baby. There was nothing left as far as a birthdate‚ name‚ family name. What little information I had about me was stolen from my car. I wish I had more to go on. I feel completely helpless and now finding out my birthdate is probably not my real birthdate makes me sick to my stomach. I need help and I don’t know where to start.
