ShreyaSally’s Life
When old enough Sally got married and moved to South Carolina, she had seven kids. She had a lot of questions from her adoptive parents. She got to know they had lied to her about her blood group and wondered what other things they had lied about. Steve had to just accept that there were questions that will forever remain unanswered. Now, all were looking forward to the reunion.
No Easy Answers
In the interview, Steve observed “A lot of crazy things were going on in Korea. At the time, there was no technology. Korea was like a Third World country. There were no records of what happened. And now, the only people who have the answers – our grandmother and the nanny – are dead.” Some things had to be let go of.
Virtual Reality
The family decided to have a Video call before they could meet each other. They just could not wait. The Internet brought about another reunion. When the three siblings got on the Skype call they were overwhelmed and surprised. Steve felt that it was, “like looking into a mirror.” But now after 37 years, it was time for the family to meet.
Tearful Reunion
Steve Jr. and Connie arranged for their eldest sister and three of her kids to fly down to California to meet the family. Their mother was there too. The newly reunited family spent a week together in Fontana. They all naturally gelled together, it just proved that they shared the same blood. Sally got emotional and said, “I don’t want these few days to ever end.”
Happily Ever After
They are a complete family now. Sally’s absence on Christmas is no longer felt as the family gets together with all their kids. They meet each other many times in a year. Sally said in the interview with Pasadena Star News, “A big void has been filled.”
The cons of the Internet are unending but it has also proved to be a positive place and the reunion of this family is one of many happy endings that the internet has brought about.
