    Michael, I want you to be happier than anyone else and find your own mother with the same heart as you are now. It's nice to hear that you felt familiar with temperature and humidity for a short period of time in Korea. I felt sorry and sad watching the video because Korea couldn't take care of you warmly. I will pray that you meet your mom. And your American parents express a lot of love to you. I think they're the ones who made you exist today.

    I came here in 1976 my b day is Sept 7,1967. I came from Korea from my father to my mother I only seen couple of times so in essence I didn't know her since than I've seen my father couple of times. I've always felt like an outsider looking in whatever group I belong to(school friends,army professional associates Evan though they're Koreans because I taught taekwondo). You made me tear up with watching this vid. I try to be positive and live life with a purpose and it's a struggle. Keep thinking positive and I hope you find your umma.
