I was stationed in South Korea in 1966-1969. There is no excuse for him to have left the children and abandoned the mother. As a soldier he could have gotten a free "Military Hop" on a US Air Force aircraft at any time to get back to S. Korea, I did this in each direction three times during my stint in the US Army between 1965 and 1972. Each time I went to a local Air Force Base and signed up for a hop on standby and flew into Seoul on leave for thirty days. At the end of my leave I went to Kimpo AFB and hopped back to the states. Don't blame the wife she was young and fearful but brave to send those kids to the states, at that time mixed kids like that were outcasts in Korean society and often mistreated by EVERYONE! They should be thankful that their mother loved them enough to give them up for a better life here!

I have a freind who served over there. He had a son with a Korean woman and tried to get her state side. So much paper work. He sent her money all the time and when he went back for her and their little boy who would have been a year old, he couldn’t find her. The woman she was rooming with stole the money and then said she put this woman in some kind of sex trafficking. Never found out what happened to them. I should get hold of my high school friend to see if he ever found them. So heartbreaking. .

To the people saying the mother was a gold-digger, the half-brother explained she was not. She gave her children up for adoption because South Korea was still a developing country that was VERY poor. America, however, was the "land of opportunity" and arguably the best country in the world back then. Furthermore, the half-brother said her mother would constantly cry because she regret her decision of giving them up for adoption. She would also tell her neighbours that if they ever see Korean-American twins to notify her. Finally, she saved all the money that Allen Thomas sent to her from mail and saved all the letters from America. When she passed away, she said that she still regrests not seeing them again. This is all explained in Part 5 of the video.

That's my point. Read a little more why don't yah. Your own ciment contradicts itself.

the stigma of being a single mother in S Korea alone is enough to drive a mother to put up her child for adoption much less having multiple children being of mixed race. I really feel for the mother, i hope she was able to find some peace and not be too critical of herself and the decisions she felt she had to make back then. And i hope the twins can also find peace in themselves and with their mother.

The guy made the Korean lady sound like some gold digger that only married him for money but if you look at part 5 she was saving all the bonds he was sending her and kept all of his letters and photos even after giving kids away. She wished one day her kids would find her because there was no way a single mom would be able to raise 3 kids on her own in S. Korea. If her first child was an American, I'm sure she would have decided to send him for adoption as well. The guy basically went deadbeat and she thought he found a new girl at Vietnam. You have to understand, South Korea after Korean War was one of the poorest nations in the world. It took time for the nation to get to where it is today. She probably thought the kids were better off going to America and get loved and educated by an American family instead of living with her in poverty. Single mom with 3 kids didn't really have much options in 70's S. Korea.. My grandpa worked at Camp Humphreys and he saw a lot of so called "yang-saekshi"which translates to American wives (Korean women who are girlfriends to an Ameican soldiers). Don't get me wrong, there are people who raised the kids by themselves and kids turned out well but mixed kids who lacked father figure just had hell. I remember up until late 90's when you were mixed and you didn't have your foreign parent figure around (usually fathers), people viewed you as "oh his dad was a soldier who lied to a Korean girl and just enjoyed her and left her when his time was done." I lived in Itaewon, a town where lot of foreigners lived, when I was a kid and two of my bestfriends are mixed Koreans. It's only from mid 2000's when those stereotypes disappered as you saw someone with mixed background on Television and movies and you stopped hearing about GI going deadbeat.

Due to communications difficulties/misunderstandings and his bankruptcy, the family couldn't be together. Don't be too harsh on either parent because there are a great deal of factors at play as to why the family didn't end up together. FYI: The father volunteered to go to Vietnam, as the only way to be near her, and he spent a month with her in S. Korea, but the already strained relationship only further deteriorated.

Let's not believe in fairy tales. That man abandoned his Korean wife and three children. He never went back for them and didn't send money to help her support them. He left her to face disgrace and abuse alone. She gave up her children for adoption because she had no other resources. Meanwhile, back on the ranch, this white man decided it was too much to bring his Asian wife and children back to America because he couldn't deal with the racism and resistance probably in his own family. Years later, after the Civil Rights movement, and society became more accepting of diversity, he decides he wants his children? The poor woman died of heart failure. I guess so after the life she had.

Later she contacted him and asked him to come get the kids but he did not have the money to fly to Korea and do all the legal paperwork to get them so she adopted them out.

As an adopted child who found her birthmother and gave her the gift of unconditional love, I am astounded by the huge array of negative, judgmental lashings so many have given this man. Life is not about hate- especially of those we do not know. He is their birth father, period. If he wishes to find his children and offer them love despite the past, then he has that right. Some of you think he is an underserving, horrible person without even knowing all the facts. You did not live his life; he and only he has. Regardless of the past's true facts, only one thing matters... the human spirit is shroud in eternal love, and when its light shines, that is what is known as "grace." The past is merely a wake we leave behind- all that matters is each present moment. Love on sir! And for those of you who have chosen to judge him and cast your wrath, please try to focus your days on the kindness heart.

How upset could he be if he never kept up with her?

Pam, U R terrific!

These two kids were not even grateful to their heartbroken mother, instead feel bitter and hateful towards her, and believe the father's words. Really fucked up, heartless ,after having a good life in America. Never had they thought abt going back Korea and see her. They can find her if they wanted to. I only believe HALF what the father said. They should go meet their brother in Korea who had spend the childhood with them, listen to what he have to say. He will nvr make up stories, only speak what he know abt. Many years the American father did not come back, therefore the mom suspect he had a new Girlfriend in Vietnam. Living those tough times 40/50years ago, going to America (unlike now where going there is no big deal), was considered very lucky and privileged. Getting out of poverty, have a better life and education ,all this led to a Mother's willingness to sacrifice losing her children, and had to endure the pain and heartbreak for the rest of her life. Sorry for the Korean brother too, he was adopted by this American father but was forgotten. He must really feel bitter when he heard this father is looking for his siblings. At least he is doing alright now, after he and his mom struggling for so many years. I'm glad Korea is prosper now even though I'm not Korean.

Rest of the story?

Part 3 is “The Searchers : An Emotional Reunion” It’s the full story.

God Bless all these good people that help all children and the parents, families that try getting back all of them or contacting them.

Some Asian countries calculate age starting at conception. So they would be about a year younger in the US based on actual birth day.

War separates people - war is confusion - hurt and pain. I work with veterans of several wars. Their stories are so hurtful and sad - reality of Vietnam soldiers. If you don’t understand this story - you don’t understand soldiers - you don’t understand war.

Is there another episode to this would love to know the ending.

A shame.. I tried to look up "Part 3" of this. But it seems that it either hasn't been uploaded, or it must've been deleted :(

So strange, the "pearl buck foundation" is the name of a place I worked for in early 2000s (they still exist), that was a basic daycare for adults with disabilities... 1:00

I would love to see the ending of the day video.

Oh my goodness you’re breaking my heart here

where is part 1? I went to your channel but could only find part 2

You’d think that the military would have an organization to bridge the gap & save time & help provide help in locating relatives & help the mothers with the children instead of just walking away. Soldiers shouldn’t be allowed off base “for a little fun” when the result of children affects the lives of these women $ the children so cruely. Yes, we’re all human & wars & unclaimed children have always been a fact, but haven’t we evolved enough to promote solid plans of actions for prevention and/or support of jeopardized humans?

I know the feeling of this I have been trying to figure out how to get started on finding my sister's

Two of my brothers were adopted from South Korea in the early 50's through the Holt MIssionary Center. Before my brother passed, he made the trip back to Korea and the Holt Adoption Center. She's right, my brother was whipped on his back that he carried with him all his life. Mixed race was not liked

He doesn't have rights because he abandoned his wife and children

I feel kind of bad for this old, vet dude for obvious reasons. But, when one examines this situation closer, it makes no real sense why he didn't support his 3 legal kids, let alone his two bilogical ones, when he had the opportunity to do so. Why then bring kids to this life and adopt a third one when you have no plans to be there for them emotionnally, physically, or economically? If he doesn't have money, then why not enlist another family member to help him out? I'm sure his parents could have stepped in for this man, for example, until something could have been figured out. Keep in mind that I also grew up without my old man, so I'm familiar with type of situation. My biological father didn't take care of his paternal obligations, but years later when I looked him up in order to know my roots, he magically wanted to form a relationship, nah, screw that; I just wanted to meet the guy and my half siblings--nothing else. However, please note that his parents at the time when I was a baby, did want to take me in and raise me when he defaulted on his paternal responsibility, but my mother chose to keep me. I would have been happy either way. Everyone just needs to feel like they belong, and that they are wanted and loved.

I guess he was only allowed to bring the twins back with him from my understanding and not the wife or her son. I think it's sketchy that they changed the DOB of the twins as well. All of this seems super sketchy tbh

Where's the other part of this video? I cant find the end of this video. ☹

hey guya..is there a part there they get united and meet again?? missing kind of the last piece here...

Could you just upload it all the parts on KZread. Or at least give a link below

Thank God there is a trinity of these type of twins

The Father abandoned the kids now that his old and KPOP his famous he wants to see the super cute kids he left? Common OPPA 🤣

Anyone know how to find the continuation of this story? I can't find any other videos

Normally alots of soldiers will just seed all over the world they based and leaved their naive girlfriends waiting for their lovers to return. Never at one time even thought these guy might just want to have a girlfriend with no intention of marrying them. Maybe some some are sincere, but they should know the hardships their girlfriend and children will face. After near dying they now wished to see their children. That is selfish. If you guys really love your girlfriends and children. (They might be shifted) . You can also keep in touch or sent a forward address. Even if you shifted house you can also informed the post office. Why is the links broken?

Where can I find part 3 please? Cant find it. watched part 1 and 2 but no part 3. What happened??? Did they find them???

Like, what kind of mindset is that? He expected the mom to raise his children without him contributing for anything and waited until they are already adults so that they could not ask him for anything? What was the point of his search? To see if they grew up to look like him and then continue on with his life? How shameless can a person be...

Where is the rest of the story is there a part 3 somewhere?
