One Orphan Every Hour - Separated as children, reunited after 50 years
What happens when two sisters meet for the first time after 50 years apart? In 1974, two young Korean girls were adopted overseas. One grew up in a working-class neighbourhood in Malmo, Sweden, while the other was raised in Texas, USA. When a DNA test finally brought them together, their emotional reunion seemed like the beginning of a long-awaited family bond. But reconnecting after half a century proved more complicated than either expected. Their story is part of a much larger, complex history. In the six decades following the Korean War, nearly 250,000 children were sent abroad for adoption, forever changing the course of countless lives.
