Korean Adoptee Cries After Discovering Birth Family Roots [R.A.W. Talk ep. 008: Sean Lange]

Korean Adoptee Stories is proud to present Korean Adoptee: Sean Lange, Father of Four who reached out to us wanting to have a chat with us about the affects of adoption and his relationships. Imagine growing up feeling different, alone and disconnected from everybody else and finally perhaps given that chance to solve that missing part of the puzzle that has left a mark on your existence. This experience affected Mr. Lange so much that he experienced a lot of emotion during this interview. We appreciate Mr. Lange's honesty and transparency that we know many other adoptees will relate to the experiences of growing up and living the life of an adoptee. Right now, after discovering this Korean Adoptee moment inside his soul he wants to help others come to terms with what it means to being Korean and an adoptee.
