I just want to give you a hug

[longbourn2112]

Please write a book, and publish it and the news gets around and then korea youll find your parents.......advertise your adoption in korea may get a answer

god i'm really sorry I just watched your next videos where you say she declined to see you... that sucks.. maybe keep trying to contact her through email? you could get more answers that way because it's less upfront?

[Peaceprogressive]

You could ask to meet up with her with the promise that you won't disrupt the life she's made (it's seen as shameful in korea to have a child without being married and she probably lied to her new husband about it) (and just go along with the idea that she is your mothers "friend" so she doesn't feel threatened) and maybe when you meet face to face you can ask her about your mother (probably her) and who knows.. it's a step forward..

[Peaceprogressive]

I watched your backstory video and I really think you should try and meet up with the woman who says she was the "friend". I'm Korean and I know korean culture inside and out and trust me, it's seen as something really shameful to have a child (back then to have one before marriage was terrible) and have to give him/her away so your biological mother is not likely to have told anyone about giving you up and would have done everything by herself.

omg you made me cry.

Hey Jaeness, you should still go to Korea, and meet that lady that claims to be your mom's friend. Don't stop here, do everything you can until you are absolutely certain that there is nothing you can do to find your birth mom. Giving up now is too early.

Also hope you keep your mind open to all possibilities. Sometimes its hard to accept reality for what it is, but when there is absolutely no way to reunite with your parents, you should think about letting go, open your mind and let go.

Good luck. I did not find my parents. I went through Eastern Child Welfare. (they are near Yonsei University in Seoul) Anyways, find them or not, go to Korea. GO! I can not explain how great it would be. You will miss that country before you leave. You will miss it before you leave!

thanks for sharing man. i feel indifferent and unsure of what i want. i think its for the best to learn our indentities, like where we were from and such. i suggest you check out this book "once they hear my name" by ellen lee and several korean adoptees.. thanks again man

I think that the woman you found is your birth mother. I think that she just has too much shame to tell you. Did you get to see her in person to see if she looks like you? I would never give up! I think another trip back to Korea is what you need!

i am very sorry about that, i am the type of person that if i cant get it i dont worry about it but it makes me sad that you wont get that wish you wanted
