Our search is over. Thank you to all who provided
advice and comfort. We hope others who are searching
find their loved ones.
I am searching for my daughter. My search has been
going on many years. I recently received some key
information on how her name was spelled on her
exit paperwork from Korea and the date given for
her birth. Also, I finally found out the family
name of her adoptive parents. I also now know the
name of the stateside agency that handled the
adoption, even though it appears to have gone
out of business.
We found that Ena's name was translated different to
In Wha Kim and that her birth date was listed as 14
Aug 1962 verses 11 Aug 1962.
This is what we now know:
Ena’s name was translated as:
In Wha Kim
Her birth date was given as:
14 Aug. 1962
Her adoptive parent’s name:
Schurman
Her adoptive parents probably called her:
Mary
She entered the US on/about:
28 Sep. 1966
Does anyone know a Mary “In Wha” Schurman?
This is what we just received from a Korean
Search angel:
She said that the adoptive parents' family name is Mr.
and Mrs. Schurman. and the American adoption agency's
name is ISS-New York. She said KSS placed several
children through ISS-New York but had had no working
relationship about 30 years. She also said that KSS
could send a official letter to ISS-New York if it
could be helpful, and if she knew the current contact
address of ISS-New York.
Will you try ISS-New York agency once more directly?
Now you have your child's official name(Kim, In Wha),
birth date(Aug. 14, 1962), arrival date(Sept. 28,
1966) and the adoptive family's name(Mr. and Mrs.
Schurman). I think and hope you have enough
information to ask for help to ISS-New York.
This is what is on my web sites:
I am looking for my daughter. She was born in Nupai,
Paju, Korea on 11 Aug 1962. We have tried to obtain
help from the Korean Social Service's people, but to
no avail. The INS says they have no record of Ena
entering the US under the name of Ena or Ina Kim. A
request for their assistance under the FOIA produced
no results at all. Her Korean exit paper work could
have been under another name. The date of her birth on
any adoption paperwork could also vary because of the
lunar calendar and translation problems. Possibly the
date could be 9 Sep., 1962. Her given name was Ena
(Ina) Kim. A baby broker forced her adoption. She left
Korea, from Kimpo Airport, in Sep.,1966 (probably the
24th) . I thought she lived in California for a while
as a child, but she may have lived in New York or New
Jersey or really anywhere else in the US. Her American
family may have given her the name Mary. The man who
adopted her was in his 40/50's in 1966 and in the
music industry, possibly a song composer of some type.
He and his wife had raised an adopted son who
was in his 20-30's in 1966 and was a college graduate,
who had attended school with a Mr. Yun (Yoon), who
arranged the adoption. Mr. Yun was from Seoul, Korea.
Ena's father was a Caucasian American soldier. She had
Brown hair and eyes as a child. She only spoke Korean
Before she left for the US other than a few English words.
She learned this English because Mr. Yun took her to
Seoul for several weeks for lessons at his home in
1966. Mr. Yun specifically sought to find a little
girl who looked Caucasian and had light brown hair and
brown eyes. She had a scar on her back from a burn.
So far we are still unable to get a last name of Ena’s
adoptive parents or even a city and state where they
resided.
We are hoping someone can identify the location where
the color photos were taken. The house number appears
to be 4133.
Please look at them.
Maybe you can tell us!
