Yangju Babies Home
My Orphanage
Since the reunification of my orphan-mates, I have been learning a lot about the orphanage I was in. Some of my orphan-mates even had pictures that were given to them by fellow military men serving at Camp Casey near the orphanage. Many of the military would come over to visit and play with the orphans.
The questions that I have running through my mind are:
What was it like?
Who held me and how much?
How many were in my particular room?
Where are they located now?
How did I get to the orphanage?
What is the history of the orphanage?
and so many more…
You can read more about the Yangju Babies Home put together by a volunteer military man from Camp Casey. He created a website with the information he knew.
My Uncle was a POW in North Korea for 2.5 years. He never speaks of it to this day. I am so thankful for the soldiers who were able to protect our precious South Korea, heartbroken that they were not able to do the same for North Korea, grateful for my daughters who were born in South Korea......so many feelings. HUG! I remember going to the DMZ with you, Sweet Darcy, on our Birthland Trip. This life is such an adventure. Love you! Love Korea!
Loved reading of how the servicemen were involved. It also sounds like he felt it was run well by the man who started it. That's a bit of encouragement even when you don't remember your time there.
