[Photo] Tearful Virtual Reunion

On the morning of the 15th, Lee Eungsun (mother), Yoon Sanghee (older sister), and Yoon Sangmyung (older brother), who found their family after being missing for 44 years and adopted to the United States, had a video call with Yoon Sangae (U.S. name Dennis McCarthy) at the Missing Persons Family Support Center of the Seoul Dongdaemun-gu Police Agency. This reunion is the first case of confirming biological relationships with families in Korea by collecting and analyzing the adoptee's DNA at overseas diplomatic missions through the 'Overseas Korean Adoptee Family Search' system. Due to difficulties in entry and exit procedures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the families reunited via non-face-to-face video calls, and they plan to meet in person once the COVID-19 situation stabilizes. /Reporter Moon Honam munonam@
