Woman
finds lost twin sister across the globe
I was born August
11, 1986 in South Korea. I am 21 years old and was
adopted by my American parents at four months old.
Just this last May
of 2007, I learned I was a twin separated at birth.
My twin coincidentally learned of my existence
several months later, in September. Because of that
coincidence, she began searching for me, as I
already had begun searching for her. If not for her
search, I would likely never have found her, or
known if she was even alive.
She lives with our
birthmother in South Korea, and doesn't speak very
much English. The story was in the Star Tribune on
December 30, 2007, with a follow-up story in
February.
I wish I could be
with her and get to know her, but the distance and
the language barrier, and the lack of money make it
difficult. I have met her one time and I will never
forget it.
