About This Book
Songs of My Two Families (renamed by the Korea publisher
37 Years to Return Home) is about a story that has already received
significant media interest. Korean Broadcasting System aired a
five-episode documentary of the story on Korean national TV, and the
story was featured on Dick Gordon's radio program, The Story.
The memoir follows the double life of a Korean girl who was adopted by
an American family in 1971, when she was five. On the plane to America
with another young adoptee, the two girls were accidently switched, and
each American family adopted the wrong child. When the switch was
discovered some weeks later, Kelly’s new parents refused to give her up,
leading to an emotional battle that ended with both girls becoming part
of the same American family. Because of this mix up, Kelly and her
Korean family quickly lost touch with each other.
Thirty-six years later, in the fall of 2007 - after Kelly gave up her
own first daughter for adoption - her birth family managed to find her.
They were all alive and had been searching for her for decades.
In July 2008, Kelly went back to Korea and reconnected with her mother,
her dying father, her four siblings, and the culture and community into
which she had been born. She also discovered the truth about why she was
given up for adoption.
