[Photo] Lost Daughter Reunites After 44 Years Through Non-Face-to-Face Meeting View original image


On the morning of the 15th, Lee Eungsun (mother), Yoon Sanghee (older sister), and Yoon Sangmyeong (older brother), who found their family after being missing for 44 years and adopted to the United States, are having a video call with Yoon Sangae (American name Dennis McCarthy) at the Missing Persons Family Support Center of the Seoul Dongdaemun-gu Police Agency.



This reunion is the first case in which the 'Overseas Korean Adoptee Family Search' system collected and analyzed the adoptee's DNA at an overseas diplomatic mission to confirm the biological relationship with their family in Korea.




Due to difficulties in immigration procedures caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the families reunited via non-face-to-face video call, and they plan to meet in person once the COVID-19 situation stabilizes. / Reporter Moon Honam munonam@
