I have never been back to South Korea and have grown up with a Swedish mother and a Caucasian father in Fort Collins, CO. With a very limited Asian population in CO, I have never really been able to grasp my Korean heritage and have been in a search for uncovering who I am. At this time in my life however, I am not necessarily yearning to find my birth parents, but I am interested to travel. However, I also have a sister who is adopted from South Korea (three years younger then me) who has expressed much more interest in contacting her birth parents.<br /><br />This sparked an idea: creating a documentary about the personal journeys of five Korean adoptees, including my sister, going back to South Korea to find their birth parents. This is a very meaningful project for me and it will be a great opportunity to receive this fellowship.<br /><br />I would love to hear from anyone who is a Korean Adoptee, has done something with film, or has something say. Looking forward to any responses.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/837633583236067471-2365361369675598926?l=southkoreanalex.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alex Colbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09342828002451048584noreply@blogger.com2
