We live in Australia and he is now almost 21-years old. His birth name that we were told by ESWS is Song Jin Yoo.

We are looking for Song Jin’s birth parents and/or family. Can anyone assist with our endeavours.
1059. Lhoey8 : Hello‚
I was adopted through holt international from Seoul South Korea. I was born in Gyodong‚ Chuncheon -Si‚ gangwon- do‚ South Korea. I am looking for my biological father and sister. I have found my biological mother but she is not well currently in a Psychological ward at a hospital in Seo- Gu‚ Incheon. Holt will not give me her full name because of the korean laws about privacy.. Her last name is Koh. My birth name was Koh‚ Eun Hee. I have little information about my birth father. I know his last name was Lee. My birth mother was 19 when she had me in 1997 and my dad was 20 years old. My birth mother has been admitted to a hospital since 2008. She was living in a homeless shelter before and was admitted in Sept 2006. Before she was admitted to the hospital‚ she mentioned to her social worker that she gave birth to two daughters. She mentioned one daughter was sent to the US through holt (which was me) my sister’s whereabouts is unknown. I am assuming she would of gave birth between the years of 1999-2006. She said before that she took care of the second child for a year and a half before being admitted in the hospital in 2008. but does not remember having a second child. (Medicatons that she is on
in the psych ward) It is most likely that my biological dad does not know about me. My birth mother only knew my birth father for 2 months and than lost contact. I was adopted through Holt International trying my best to find answers off of the little information I have.
