I'm South-Korean, but:
I was born in Seoul,
At 2 years my parents dropped me on the garbage belt naked and left me,
Somebody found me and brought me to the nuns (USA nuns)
Those nuns brought me to the US ambasy for registration
From there i was signed up as a kid ready for adoption
I was put on a plane and send to Belgium when i was 2,5 years (it was a plane full of south korean kids shipped to Belgium all for adoption)
There some dude and his wife took me in and raised me. (the already had 4 kids on there own)
(This story is not made up, it is written on my adoption papers)
I'm 38 now, I never had problems here in Belgium
I feel no connection at all to Korea, except my looks
Do i need to be proud? yes i'm proud to be a Belgium!
What about my South-Korean roots?
I wonder if i have any roots left, i feel nothing and i don't care, i don't speak the language, my real parents where my adoption parents who raised
me as one of there own kids, never got left out of anything, my sisters and brother feel the same, i'm one of them.
Would i ever go back?
I would be a stranger in my own birth country
I have nothing lost there
My parents did a search to my real parents 1 time and it was a dead end, cause i was not given away but found on a garbage belt.
the only thing that connects me is my looks and that's it.
But i love to visit Japan/Hong-Kong for all the retro/console stuff / (héhé)
