[Photo] Memories from 44 Years Ago... Holding Tightly in Hand View original image


Yoon Sang-hee (older sister), who was adopted to the United States after going missing 44 years ago, is having a video call with Yoon Sang-ae (American name Dennis McCarthy) at the Missing Persons Family Support Center of the Seoul Dongdaemun-gu Police Agency on the morning of the 15th.



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 biological relationships with family members in Korea.




Due to difficulties in international travel procedures caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the families reunited via non-face-to-face video calls, and they plan to meet in person once the COVID-19 situation improves. / Reporter Moon Ho-nam munonam@
