Holt har givet mig det officielle afslag, det bliver nok ikke så nemt at trænge igennem og gøre dem klart at jeg ikke lader mig spise af med den sædvanlige historie.
“According to the record City Baby Hospital gave Holt when they referred you for adoption in 1969, you were around two years old. At that time, several babies were referred for adoption. All of them were Parks. They were found without identifying information. So, they were named after the director of the hospital. This hospital was a kind of reception center for the babies orphaned or abandoned in Seoul.
I am so sorry that it will be really difficult to find your birth family. We have a website and we have a search section in it. If you want to put an article about your search, I can assist you. If you want to do that, please send me your recent photo and article about you! However, it hasn’t been very successful over the years. ”
Denne historie er den som de fleste hører, det skal man ikke lade sig afskrække af – men alligevel giver det et stik i hjertet, når ens rødder ikke vil gribe fat.
Næste skridt er at presse på, evt. sætte G.O.A.L på sagen (og nej det er ikke Gun Owners Action League) og se om de kan sætte gang i tingene. Endeligt er der fjernesynet tilbage, en slags Koreansk morgentv parret med sporløs forsvundet – hvor man efterlyser forældre og børn etc. Jeg er ikke helt sikker på, jeg er parat til at gå til den eksporneringsydergrænse med grædende koreanere, der skal have dulmet den dårlige nationale samvittighed.
