Korean Adoptee Cries After Discovering Birth Family Roots [R.A.W. Talk ep. 008: Sean Lange]

<p>Korean Adoptee Stories is proud to present Korean Adoptee: Sean Lange, Father of Four who reached out to us wanting to have a chat with us about the affects of adoption and his relationships. Imagine growing up feeling different, alone and disconnected from everybody else and finally perhaps given that chance to solve that missing part of the puzzle that has left a mark on your existence. This experience affected Mr. Lange so much that he experienced a lot of emotion during this interview. We appreciate Mr. Lange's honesty and transparency that we know many other adoptees will relate to the experiences of growing up and living the life of an adoptee. Right now, after discovering this Korean Adoptee moment inside his soul he wants to help others come to terms with what it means to being Korean and an adoptee.</p> <p><br></p> <p>~</p> <p><br></p> <p>Key Topics Covered:</p> <p><br></p> <p>0:48 - Intro &amp; Personal Background</p> <p>1:54 - Members of Adoptive Family</p> <p>4:38 - Death of Adoptive Father at Age 5</p> <p>3:32 - Dealing with Adoptive Mother's Abuse</p> <p>3:59 - Identity &amp; Childhood Experiences with Korean Culture</p> <p>6:34 - Abandonment Issues as a Child</p> <p>7:27 - Birth Family Records</p> <p>9:21 - Emotional Moment of Discovering First Cousin</p> <p>11:40 - Information About Biological Mother &amp; Family Dynamics</p> <p>13:34 - Information About Birth Father &amp; Search</p> <p>16:04 - Identity Experiences of Feeling Caucasian or Asian</p> <p>19:24 - Dynamics of Relationships &amp; Marriage to a Korean Born Person &amp; Children</p> <p>21:57 - Experiencing Divorce&nbsp;</p> <p>24:44 - Custody of Children &amp; Legal Issues</p> <p>26:58 - Parenting Styles &amp; Moving to California</p> <p>28:11 - Coping Mechanisms &amp; Dealing with Issues</p> <p>30:03 - Coming to Terms with Adoption Issues</p> <p>30:58 - Desire to Return to Korea</p> <p>33:26 - More Details about First Marriage, Travelling Lifestyle, Parenting, &amp; Children</p> <p>36:10 - Describing First Arrest 4 Years Ago</p> <p>37
