What are some of the difficulties in searching for birth parents in Korea, when birth parents’ names and last known address are available?
It is very difficult to find birth parents if they used a temporary address when they relinquished their child or if they have moved several times. Economic development has also altered Korea, including street addresses. In addition, many more people in Korea than in the US share the same names, both first and last names. The USA with a population of 290 million has 3 million Smiths. Korea with a population under 50 million has 10 million Kims.
