I was born in Seoul to a young, single mother who was very young; 14-16 years old I've been told. I was adopted when I was 6 months old and came to America with my current family. I am now a 19 year old college student. After watching this, I can't help but feel somber knowing that I have a mother and father out there somewhere and possibly brothers and sisters too. Congratulations man, I literally cried after watching.

+Aria MISSY Learn French and save your amazement.. It's Latin, except it's Celtic Latin. To be honest. Latin is very similar to Celtic. Have you ever heard of Gaul? Yeah it's a real place. Kind of like Israel from the Bible and everyone knows all about the Bible now. Hey! Gaul is Europe! Hello! Wake up idiotos! Spanish and French and Italian are proximate to one another. Next to each other in physicality, not even separated by ocean from America. Iceland (a specific person 4got the name. He was supposed to stop being pagan but he wasn't moved to NOT write down the Eddas of Norse Mythology) is next to Inuktitut Greenland and Greenland is as close to Canada as Iceland is to Greenland, except it's bigger. And Sarah Palin says she can see Russia from her house. Maybe if you realized that we're all human beings youd fuck the shut up. Also, immigrants are all around you and you don't give a fuck about the sisters or them or the world so bye globe denying zombie plagued by not seeing [the value of] history. Maybe you should suck on the fact that you don't understand KPOP, which I do. HA!

Annelies Wallace when you’re a mother your kid will always be your kid and you feel that deep connection. It’s not something you can really explain other than feeling deeply. Anele’s not talking about knowing him as an individual- if that makes sense? Idk I’m also kinda bad at explaining.

@autumnzerose 5 жыл бұрын

queenbeethatme100 👀 I never said she knew him deeply? There’s a connection between mother & child that can’t be explained. Often it’s the mother who feels this connection tho. I’m not romanticizing anything. It’s called instinct. We all have it in some way, shape or form. (I was trying to help out the original commenter explain what she meant, cause I thought I understood what she was trying to say... good lord, don’t attack me)

@taylorscott5767 6 жыл бұрын

Their DNA analysis revealed that they are identical twins; it could be the high dairy in American diets causing indigestion, as most Koreans are lactose intolerant... they could consume dairy with kimchi, which has Lactobacillus bacteria that breaks down lactose, but otherwise, most Koreans cannot digest dairy. It is very likely that he had a lot of dairy in the American diet without kimchi...

@surreality147 6 жыл бұрын

I found it weird that the twin with the Asian diet and lifestyle grew up to be taller than the one with Western diet and lifestyle.. it's so incongruent to the common stereotype of Asians being short.

@daniisnotok 5 жыл бұрын

Their mannerisms are so different because they hail from different places. Like how Dan's first instinct was to shake hands with the twin expert, but his brother's instinct was to immediately bow. It's cool to see that where you grow up and who you grow up around can have such a huge effect on who you are as a person.

My Korean mother abandoned me at night at a busy train station when I was 2 years old. I was adopted by an very nice American family. I lived in Japan, Philippines, and went to Texas for college. I joined the army and rode in helicopters and tanks. I retired from the army and wrote a cookbook and a PTSD healing book to stay busy. Now that I am retired and getting older, I think about my brothers in Korea and how I would like to meet them. I assume we will look similar. However, I have no idea how to conduct the search to find my brothers. I won’t get my hope up, so I won’t be disappointed because I don’t think I will be successful in this endeavor. Sometimes somethings are just not destined to come true.

It's so interesting to see this process, to be honest. I have an older cousin who's adopted from South Korea too. In Norway his name is Jon-Are, which is a really common name. It didn't hit me until we got the thank you-card from his daughter's christening that it was actually spelled Joon-Are. My uncle and aunt had taken half his Korean name and put it together with half a Norwegian one. I think it's really nice, because it's a way of combining the two, reminding him of his heritage as well as saying that he's also Norwegian, he really is.

My guess is that having twins was unexpected and the family couldn't handle the financial strain of two children like they could one. Instead of not being able to provide for two kids, they decided to be able to provide for one.

@aleesha5739 7 жыл бұрын

It explains in part one that the family was having a very difficult time financially. Also, Dan and his twin were born in 1985 which was before universal health care coverage was achieved in 1988. With existing financial hardships, one older child, a mother with serious health issues after giving birth and two premature babies it's understandable why the father made such a difficult decision.

I understand there were issues and it just turned out that way. But I still feel so bad for her. Being a mother myself - the thought of experiencing that just sounds so heartbreaking

My childhood sucked too. I was an only child and had toxic parents. But I ended with several of my own and I am thankful my relationship with my kids are a lot more healthy and loving than what I had with my own parents.

This story is seriously amazing, so glad you shared it with us!!! Theres so many people who are searching for where they came from but continuously hit a brick wall, so I'm glad Dan got the chance to meet his biological family and find his roots.

To Dan, I feel I may not have a right or full understanding in this moment of your life that you have experienced. However it is amazing and inspiring to see the bravery and strength it took for you to go forward and find your Korean family and it is amazing how honest and open you were with such a personal matter. This series no doubt will help so many people; younger or older generations who have yet to embark on the journey you did. Great work and congratulations on finding your amazing family.

I was adopted at 6 mo from Korea. I’ve always been SUPER conscious of how DIFFERENT I am from all Asians I’ve met. It’s so beautiful to me how our environment shapes us. I hope to one day meet my birth mom :)

Wow i loved this ep. It sucks you didn't capture the big moment but i understand the situation. If i were them i would be uncomfortable with cameras around too. You 2 really look alike! holy, it's so cool. It's really touching that you 2 got to hang out for a little, to see your similarities and differences. It's all about creating memories with a sibling. Especially if you 2 are twins! Thanks for sharing your story :)

I think what a lot of people don't recognize in these types of situations is that international adoptees have ultimately lost their fated sense of culture and ethnic identity once they've been adopted overseas. It's not as light-hearted as one may think. People who have never experienced true cultural upbringing wouldn't understand the significance of an international adoptee's loss of culture and ethnic identity. International adoptee experiences differ compared to adoptees adopted in their origin country. In my personal opinion, I believe that international adoptees have it much harder than domestic adoptees, with a sense of relativity.

This was amazing! Glad you were able to put complete your puzzle. My siblings and I were separated a long time ago and sent to live with different relatives we all lived lives like we never knew each other. I feel like we’re all separated at birth sometimes. I’m now in my 40’s and the eldest, and we are all still estranged.
