A 46-year-old woman from Vermont, USA, that got separated from her South Korean family at a market when she was just 2 years old got reunited with her mother and siblings.
This got possible through times like these thanks to a video chat.
The reunion happened 44 years later.
46-year-old Denise McCarty of Springfield said she had been searching for her family for years.
In 2016, she visited South Korea and took a DNA test as part of a program that was seeking help Korean adoptees to reconnect with their real families.
This month, McCarty got a phone call and she was told that a match had been found.
A couple of days after the call, she got to talk with her brother, identical twin sister, and her mother for the first time in 44 years.
They had a video call.
Denise, who was born as Sang-Ae, learned she was only 2 when she and her sister Sang-Hee, became separated from their grandmother at Namdaemun Market in Seoul.
Sang-Hee was found 2 days later, but Sang-Ae was brought to an orphanage 2 hours away.
Her family failed to locate her at that time.
A couple from the United States of America adopted her in 1976.
She was told that she was abandoned at a hospital because she was sick.
The name of the American parents was not shared with the public.
Lee Eung-Sun, the 78-year-old McCarthy’s birth Mother, said that she never stopped looking for her daughter.
The real family of McCarthy said they want to reunite with their daughter in person once the coronavirus pandemic is over or when international travel becomes safer.
