I just started the search for my birth parents through ESWS. I was adopted at 6 months old from Daegu, South Korea. Your video has given me the strength and patience to endure this process. Thank you for sharing your story, Dan.

The only thing I had trouble with in school were people saying "your real mom" because I'm like, my mom is my real mom. That's my biological mom, but my mom is my real mom too.

@autumnromero3653 9 лет назад

I know right! I'm a Chinese adoptee, and I have pretty much zero hope of ever finding my biological parents, but I've come to terms with that. I totally know what you mean by when people say "real" parents. Both sets of parents are real, I SWEAR lol. Just wanted to say something because I can relate to this haha.

@feztheshep 9 лет назад

Hey I can relate with being a Chinese adoptee who has pretty much zero hope of finding my bio parents too!

@autumnromero3653 9 лет назад

Yay we're matching!

@Ryveigha 9 лет назад

Autumn Romero Hey I'm a Chinese adoptee too! No hope of finding my biological parents either. Sometimes it is hard not being able to be with parents that share features with me like biological families do. Well, it's hard for me sometimes anyways. I was aadopted into America with lots of white people everywhere and few Asians. Sometimes I wonder "Where did my nose come from? What kind of lives did my parents leave? Why did they leave me to the care of an orphanage? Do they look like me? What would they think if they could see me now? Would they be proud? Ashamed? Happy? Scared? Are they artistic like me? Or athletic like my adoptive family? Do they enjoy jokes as much as I do?" So many questions, not enough possibility to ever ask them.

@autumnromero3653 9 лет назад

Rose H I wonder the exact same things! I guess we just have to leave it up to the imagination. I also go to this thing called Chinese Heritage Camp. I don't know if you've gone or heard of it but it's super fun! A bunch of adoptees like you and I get together and we do fun stuff. It's pretty awesome being around a bunch of asians and feel like you "blend in" once in a while haha.

@SirAgravaine 10 лет назад

Oh man, I seriously teared up. I feel so bad for your birth parents because they really didn't want to give you up, but they felt they had no other choice. On the other hand, I'm really happy for your parents because they got to have you!

@ISATV 10 лет назад

Happy Mother's Day to Everyone. Especially today - we're proud to have released a series that examines the importance of mothers in our lives. Whether foster, adoptive, or biological.

@MissyStylee 10 лет назад

I think there's no love is more deep than the adoptive mother....I admire Lynne so much!

@bellarosie63 10 лет назад

Your mom giving you the album and hugging you and telling you to embrace your extended family was very touching... Your parents have the biggest heart not only did they adopt you but your sister too. You guys are very lucky to have them as parents. In my opinion, your biological parents have the heaviest heart and toughest love for you. It must have been hard to give up their child for adoption and looking at your twin brother everyday that constantly reminded them about you ..

@sleepovr 8 лет назад

It's hard to see him reading letter from his dad, specially the part about they have to let him ago. I saw pain in his eyes, I saw him ask "why it has to be me ?". What a different life it would be if condition was different ... Dan is a strong man ... Damn ninja cutting unions ...

@fvnt0miix953 7 лет назад

I think they made the right decision tho. I'm sure Dan lived a better life in the USA than he would have in Korea. Having your real parents around you is nice, but having a good living condition is even more important imo. Of course he had to suffer thru bullies and discrimination from the white kids, but at least he had a nice house to live in, no worries about food and money. So yea, I think it's not a bad thing that they left him for adoption.

@AlexBabcock-hw9iz 6 лет назад

Bullies and discrimination from white kids, just the white kids no black or hispanic kids or even other types of asians. No that would never happen right?

@hafsa1698 6 лет назад

FVNT0M IIX his bio family seemed like they had a good enough living condition, with 2 kids and all. Plus when his twin took them to his childhood neighbourhood he said that he had a lot of positive memories there.

@user-ly4wt9xp4i 5 лет назад

Chris P. Bacon that really sucks.. I was tormented for YEars because I lived in a predominately white area

@natashaadelina7325 4 года назад

I know. And I think it hurts more considering that while yeah, the Matthews are better but back then, the chance that Dan would eventually be adopted to an actual good family was like 50%. The fact that the father had to, and eventually did, choose to believe that 50% was... amazing.

the letter from his biological mother..instant tears down my face. I'm adopted myself and it just makes my day when I see an adoption story like this

@worshipthecomedygodseoeunk4010 8 лет назад

In response to those who don't get why we search: In my opinion, it's not just a matter of finding someone blood related, but also trying to forgive the ones who gave you up. Especially if you find out they hadn't really wanted to abandon you, but were sort of forced to make a difficult choice, which happens a lot more than you realize, you received all that unconditional love so it's only natural to give some of it back no matter how hurt you are in whatever circumstances. Also, I don't think it's very considerate of some people to be questioning in the first place. Were you adopted? No. So I'd suggest maybe listening to those who are.

@HKim0072 5 лет назад

It’s a fair question. But, I think it just comes down to people’s background. I had more issues about being Asian in a white town rather than being adopted. Resolved that by moving to a more diverse area. Had no desire to search for my birth relations, but they made a search for me. And I connected with them later. I’m one of the rare people that my parents never moved or changed their phone number, so it was easy for the connection to happen.

@deeb.9250 Год назад

I'm surprised they gave poor parents option for adoption as a way out... I hope Korea has better health care now, even if you have no money you can still keep your children.

@ramdas363 3 года назад

I'm not even adopted but I keep watching all these adoptee documentaries because they're so addictive. This one's really well made and the dude got really lucky with his families, they both seem very nice. Also I'm not crying, there's something in my eyes.

@DenysiaYu 10 лет назад

@ISATV 9 лет назад

@-maquia- 5 лет назад

Hey, I’m an Ethiopian adoptee as well!! But honestly it’s a bit of a myth that we have a complex about meeting our birth parents. Of course, I’d like to know their medical history, but I personally don’t know them and don’t really care what happens to them. But if your daughter grows up wanting to meet her biological mother, then I wish her luck!!

@GabrielaCenturionNeumann 10 лет назад

I have a friend who was adopted when a newborn. I had never really paid much attention to that fact. For someone looking from the outside, it just seemed like a blessing that my friend could have a loving family. But there's so much more to it, isn't it? For everyone involved. I think I can understand how my friend might be feeling a little better now that I've seen this. My friend is not a very talkative person... but I will keep trying to get my friend to open up, if that is my friend's wish. I will try to understand the situation better, try to not assume things but to just listen and be there. I couldn't help but crying. It was filled with emotions, real ones. Thank you for deciding to share this with us worldwide. A very big hug from Paraguay. For you and your family. All of them.

OMG this is so bittersweet! I am crying for his adoptive mother, his birth mother and for him! I am hoping everyone will come to some sort of understanding that this was probably best for everyone concerned. Being related doesn’t always work with some families who have always been together, think about it! I am hoping for some middle ground that everyone can stand upon and make the very best for everyone! Thank you for sharing this program.

well i was actually more sad about what his birth parents would have had to go through. they had to make a choice between their twin sons. i mean... who can? the fact that wanting to raise both of their children, was only a selfish hope, is just too sad in my opinion.

I am excited to see the rest of the story :) thank you for sharing such an intimate emotional time of your life. I remember my first time back to Korea and the day I met my mother. I've never been so out of my element and so mixed emotionally, but it was hands down the best moment of my life.
