It is wonderful to read about adopted children from Yang Ju near Camp Casey, Korea. My husband was an Army officer assigned to Camp Casey, 7th Infantry Division, in 1965-66. Since “dependents” were not allowed there (it was considered an “unaccompanied” post), I traveled to Seoul on my own, as a civilian, and worked in the Civilian Personnel Office at Yongsan Army Headquarters. It was our first year of marriage. I traveled from Seoul to Camp Casey by bus to see my husband about every-other-week. The highlight of my visits, besides seeing my husband, was going to the orphanage where I could hold and cuddle the adorable infants who needed attention in the worst way. I was only 20 at the time so not ready to raise children. The older children sang a lot. I will never forget my experiences there – being around those precious kids.
