In episode 7 of "Finding Family DNA," Aneyah Elmore delves into her complex journey as a Korean adoptee and her poignant reunion with her birth father, an African American soldier previously stationed in Korea during the Vietnam War. After years of believing her birth father had died, DNA testing facilitated by Jay Rosenzweig and a feature on a television show lead her to him, uncovering not only her father but also details about her mother. Aneyah shares how her mother, believing her father had perished, made the heart-wrenching decision to place Aneyah in an orphanage to remarry. This episode reveals the emotional rollercoaster of Aneyah's adoption, the falsification of her records, and the eventual reunions that bridge continents and cultures. Through her story, the podcast illuminates the challenges of international adoptions and the profound impact of reconnecting with biological roots.
