An adoptee seeks her roots
In 1984, a little girl who was found crying in a parking lot in central South Korea was flown to Michigan — one of the 7,900 children South Korea shipped out that year for overseas adoption, mostly to the United States.
Today, that girl, renamed Kara Bos, an American citizen and mother of two, is at the center of the first paternity lawsuit filed in South Korea by an overseas adoptee. “I feel it’s a fundamental right for us as abandoned children to know our pasts,” she told our reporter.
