This is the best summary I could come up with:
The CBC investigation looked into a dark chapter in Korean-Canadian relations, after the Korean War, when children were adopted into this country — in many cases, falsely registered as orphans in order to be fast-tracked abroad.
She is now helping others do a birth search, by connecting with their Korean adoption agency and pushing for more paperwork, and sharing resources for other investigative avenues, like genetic testing.
Relatives took Taylor and her younger sister in Seoul and brought them to an orphanage while her father was out of town, in the "hope that we would have a better life."
In the past few months, Brighton says many adult Korean adoptees across Canada are coming together and are beginning to have difficult conversations since reading the CBC story.
Since the publication of the CBC story, Brighton has received numerous requests from adoptees asking her to help them start a birth search.
She says she has something to look forward to, as she plans to do a DNA test and contact her adoption agency in South Korea for more documents and answers.
