  1. This is an old message, but have you tried G.O.A.L.?

  2. It’s a strange experience. I never felt close to my biological parents when I’ve met them. I’ve seen them over 5 times over the years. I do feel bad for my biological mom since she’s getting old these days. Anyway, the best way is to just let them feed you.

  3. Nothing to fear. If anything, it’s an awkward experience because of the language barrier. And it’s super cool to visit Korea. (I met my family many years ago.)

  4. The sibling thing will make the relationship last forever. I don’t have a twin, but have 2 biological siblings (6 and 8 years younger). I’ve kept in touch mostly with my sister since I met my family, but there have been gaps in communication (mostly because I am weird). Also, my situation is odd since I have 3 Korean aunts / uncles in the states.

  5. For anyone searching for their birth parents, G.O.A.L. Is probably a good place to start. I never contacted them, but seems like a solid org. https://www.goal.or.kr
