Reason for Adoption Placement:

The birthmother mentioned neither her background nor the child’s birthfather. She only said that she was an unwed girl and drifted apart from the bithfather already. She was unable to raise this child at all as an unwed girl both financiall and sociall. So, she gave the statement of relinquishing this child for overseas adoption to Kwangmyung Children’s Guidance Clinic.

** The birthmother, rather short, oval-faced, small eyes, high nose, swarthy complexion, taciturn, introversive, and cool.

** Beyond the above, no further information on the child’s background is obtainable at all.

This is information is transposed verbatim from my child study document obtained from the Social Welfare Society. It is the only thing I have that shed any shred of light onto who I am or where I came from. The last line however is the most puzzling. Maybe someday I will be able to unearth that which is “unobtainable”.

Because I am not just a compilation of old rice paper documents I’ll mention who I am currently.

I am friend (probably not a very good one)

I am a football(soccer) fan

I am scared

I am nervous

I am kind (I think)

I am loving

I am a man who dreams

I am 5’8″ on a good day

I am angry (sometimes depending on how the wind blow)

I am affable

I am a lot more than I care to list.
