[Photo] Daughter Held in Heart for 44 Years, Untact Reunion View original image


Lee Eungsun (mother), who was separated 44 years ago and adopted to the United States, is having a video call with Yoon Sang-ae (American name Dennis McCarty) on the morning of the 15th at the Missing Persons Family Support Center of the Dongdaemun-gu Police Agency in Seoul.



This reunion is the first case of confirming the biological relationship with family 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 immigration procedures caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the families reunited via non-face-to-face video calls plan to meet in person once the COVID-19 situation stabilizes. / Reporter Moon Honam munonam@
