Born at 9:20 pm on June 23‚ 1976 at Shi‚ Young-Soon Clinic in Anyang‚ Kyonggi-do. Name of clinic changed to Shin Clinic. I was born first and my twin brother was born five minutes following my birth. My birth father was 31 years old and my birth mother was 26 years old when I was born.
My birth parents could not afford incubator care for me‚ so they asked the clinic to take care of providing medical care for me. They took my twin brother and left the clinic. I was in the incubator for 35 days and on July 27‚ 1976 was intaken by ESWS for the purpose of adoption.
I was adopted when I was just over six months old to a family in the United States through Dillon International‚ Inc.

According to my adoption papers I was abandoned as a baby in Daegu. I believe that I was born at the Lee Kee Yung Hospital‚ Daegu (later changed to Hana Womens Hospital) on 7th Feb 1977 at 23:15 hours (?). Since my Korean name was Lee Kee Yung I am also searching for Dr Lee Kee Yung who was the head doctor at the hospital (or anyone who worked with him ) at the time in the hope of obtaining more information. Soon after birth I stayed at the White Lily Orphanage in Daegu before being transferred to Holt Children’s Services. Mr Chung Ha Boo (born 1 Sept 1943) was my guardian at Holt. I was adopted to Norway on June 9th 1977.
1049. ParkJung-Ok : Is your Mom’s last name Hwang? At 20 she relinquished me in a hospital in Daegu. She was second oldest. She had two brothers and one sister. Only her father was alive at the time (1982).
My father’s last name is Park. He was the oldest of 4 total sons. He was also 20 (Korean age).
Their relationship when I was conceived would have been August/September 1981.
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.
