We all had a moment when we could feel we forget something. It is like a missing major of what holds some meaning, but we can not remember anymore. Is not it extremely frustrating? Yet we can not do anything about it. We usually miss the tiny tiny memories, but if it's something huge? Or a hidden truth that can turn a lot of life upside down once unleashed?
Think about it, we all have at least a moment of our childhood that we remember, but only in pieces. Soon, most of these memories become blurry, like a faded vintage painting.
It's a comforting story of a girl who fought every chance to remember what meant the most to her once. At the same time, she was not even sure of what it was exactly that she was looking for looking. She lost the memory of all this, thanks to the difficult period to which she has crossed. Whenever she tried to return to these faded memories, the strangest information appears on the stage. But was she ever able to solve this enigma that none could understand but herself?
In his dream
At midnight, she woke up with a strange feeling. It was strange but not new for her while she felt in the same way several times before. Whenever she had the same dream, she saw her sad and frightened childhood. When a hand aid reaches for his help, she grabbed it and she guided it to a room full of light.
Nightmare
Once it enters the room, the door is locked and she could feel it as if she had never had to go back to these dark streets. Before you can even feel the joy of freedom, a strong noise begins to call it behind the door. The voice continues to call it, and it has become stronger and stronger, without any break. Until it becomes impossible for the little girl to hear about.
Out of mind
As every time before having had this dream, this time too, she woke up again at the same time when she could no longer bear the very growing sound that calls him stronger. It was a sense of regret and despair, but why is she scent? The girl had no answer to that and all the other questions about her mind.
Not finished yet
All she knew was that she should go down from it. She could not focus anywhere but think about what this dream was trying to tell him. Not even once she felt it was just a dream, in fact, her belief that it was a sign that had continued to increase every time she saw the same dream. Was his intuition right? Did his dream really try to take him to a certain direction? Or was it a memory that has only been stored in its subconscious mind?
When everything started
She knew that her early childhood years had not been like most people. Although she does not remember any of that, all she had been the stories that everyone told her the oldest phase of her life. The girl we are talking about is Renee Alanko and it's her unusual story ...
Sweetwell Sweety
Thus, the biological father of Renée left him on the market and slipped 1,000 gained (about 84 cents). He asked her to buy something to eat when she is hungry and asked her never to leave the market no matter what. Finally, he gave him a gift that she could have never guess was a goodbye present.
Little girl in a mega city
The girl's father left him on the South Korean capital market, Seoul. It has been abandoned in one of the most congested areas of the city with its preferred flexible toy. At the time, she spent all day looking for her father who made her daughter a promise, that the little girl did not understand was a fake.
False hope
The four-year-old Reena has innocently instructing his father. Not even in his worst nightmare had never thought that his father will leave her like that. After waiting a few hours, she bought a hamburger and sat on the same bench for dad's return. Unfortunately, he never intended to return in the first place.
Brave boy
The girl spent all day thinking that her father thinks of her as a courageous girl who can wander around the market alone. She did not talk to foreigners. She managed to stay there all day, unnoticed by a suspicious person. She felt a sense of freedom at a pretty early age. But this fun time started looking for more punishment soon.
Dull
When his father was nowhere on the market even after the evening, she slept on the same bench to make sure his father will find her when he is back. When in the evening turned to night, she had no idea. That's when the moment of life was about to unfold.
Closing time soon
The little girl was exhausted by the exit of the whole day and did not notice that it was almost the closing time of the market. It's when a woman attracted the view of the little girl sleeping on a bench in the corner. The woman awakened her and asked her her name and address.

Not pronounce a word
The woman took the girl in her store and tried to get information but failed. The girl stayed silent and it still worries the woman. In the hopes she will find a kind of knowledge of the girl's parents, the woman looked at her pockets. She found no address but certainly realized the critical situation.
A mysterious note
The woman spotted a heartbreaking note in the 4 year pocket. She could not believe what she read and the fact that any parent can do that to their child was depressing for her. She looked at the little girl and for a moment she had the impression that her future was going to be a huge struggle.
Note
"Please send this child to an orphanage through a police station. At present, she has no parents, "read the note. The woman knew that this case was out of her hands, she grabbed her phone to inform the local daughter and note.
Police interference
The woman continued to wonder if it was the father of the daughter or her mother who wrote the note, during that time, the police were on their way. She explained to the police she did not see her father outgoing but noticed that the girl sleeping an hour ago.
Birth name
The girl was frightened but told her birth name to the police. His name was Jee Young Lee and that's all they knew of her. They set up Renée for adoption and just like any other orphanage, Renee also lived the lives of reception for a few months before a couple showed the little girl.
Renee
Soon, the bad moments were the most finished for her while an American family adopted her and appointed her renee alanko. She moved to Pleasanton, California in her home of adoptive origin. With his new brothers and sisters, she lived the childhood she deserved. Unfortunately, these faded memories of the past continued to float from time to time.
Any new family
The adoptive family of Renée ensued that she never felt an intruder. She was everyone's favorite and the most darling of Alanko's family. She finished her schooling and graduation when things took him on a new track.
Curious about the past
Even if Renée loved his adoptive parents, she has always remained curious to know his origin and organic family. Yes, she was well aware that her parents abandoned her yet she wanted to know if she had a sister brother she did not know. Although his adoption file did not speak any brother, there was information on which his mother shared with her who would change her secular beliefs.
The adoption report
The adoption report indicated that the day Renee was brought to the police, she said her father was an alcoholic and he was an aggressive man. A 4 year old girl told the police how she had seen her father beating her mother several times.

Many gaps in history
After their mother left them, Alanko's older sister loved him no less than her mother. There was much more to this story that was not mentioned on adoption reports. Fortunately, Alanko's adoptive mother had meaningful information that changed the entire course of things.
The memory of the mother
The reports just mentioned that Alanko had an older sister. However, his mother-in-law mentioned that Alanko used to talk about a younger brother during his childhood. His mother was always doubtful if she should believe her or not. Especially when she said something completely in front of the adoption report.
Pieces together
Growing up, Alanko tried several times to come back to his brother but failed. All it lacked was other more relevant information. She did not even remember his name. She had no idea if the dreams she had and the memories of childhood that her mother talked about being true or not.
Travel to Seoul
Alanko started by asking his mother the name of his brother and learned to know the first name. With this information, Alanko started looking for his younger brother on Facebook. As expected, nothing was going to appear just by the first name.
The determination to find his brother has brought him back to his hometown; Seoul.
Return instead on
From the local police station to the orphanage, Renee did everything she could. Unfortunately, Renée has returned from his hometown to empty-handed. Without any useful information, she started losing hope to find her brother. After all, he could live anywhere around the world!
The hopes generated again
In May 2018, Renee decided to pass a DNA test across 23andm as her husband and herself planned to have a baby and that they wanted to know everything about their hereditary health links. She did not seek her brother anymore.
Related DNA
Renée recalled the date on May 26, 2018 and thanked God that the reports were all well. Then she continued to say, "Then I started exploring the other tabs just to see what else was there, and I saw under" tools ", says" parents to DNA "and I said, oh and I just click on it thinking about thinking, yes, I will probably have a hillion of 5th cousins and stuff." But the incredible truth appeared on his screen at the moment. where she clicked.

Completely in front of what she was waiting for, the website showed the profile of a man. His name was Justin, a resident of Sam, 35, Oregon. The notification jumped: "23andy predicts it's your brother."
Online search
Renee was looking for Justin Online and found a corresponding profile. She sent him a text message on Facebook and then told during an interview: "I wrote," Hi, Justin. I think I may be your biological sister. '
Get in touch
Justin remembered this moment as one of the best memories of his life. Without saying a word, they exchanged their phone numbers and heard the other voice for the first time. They could not wait further and planned to meet in the coming weeks. Their images of the meeting are something you would not want to miss. But where was Justin all this time and why was he not mentioned anywhere in the police archives?
Same story
Apparently, in March 1984, a boy named Hong Ki Hong was abandoned in the same region, two days before the abandonment of Renée. He was only two years old when a man found the baby crying outsideYongsan Theater.The baby was scared and was taken to the hospital and then dropped to the adoption center.
Similar Fate
Like Renee, Hong was also adopted by an American family of Salem, Oregon. His adoptive parents gave him a new name: Justin Kragt. The pair has lived in the same country all these years but has never learned to know the truth. In fact, unlike his Justin sister had almost no memory of his childhood.
Found in a magazine
The adoptive mother of Justin, Sue Maguire, said in an interview: "We discovered Justin in a magazine, with this cute little cherub of a face." Although the family knows nothing about the baby's past, but some incidents told them the obvious reason for the abandonment of the little boy.
No details at all
Justin's adoption report did not say anything about his family or siblings, but his state of health quickly gave his adoptive family the reason behind her. Just two years after his adoption, Justin was admitted to the UIC and the doctors said they had to exploit it.
Health problems
The little boy has undergone an open-heart surgery that later explained that Justin was born with congenital heart failure. The doctors were sure that this condition was explained at the time of birth, but nothing was mentioned in the adoption report. Justin grew up thinking her parents left him because of the disease.
His history
Justin then told during an interview: "I was satisfied with what I thought I was my story. And what I thought that my mother was a prostitute. A young prostitute who had a wedding baby".
Biotechnology company
23andy is a genomics and biotechnology company. He is based in California, the same city where Justin lived. Over the years, this company has become one of the best in its field of hierarchy and relationships.
Friend

Fifth cousin
In 2014, Justin finally got the test, at the time he did not even know that he had an older sister."I was hoping to find a fifth cousin, as strange as it sounds," he said about his point of view while getting the test reports.
Wait with impatience
Finally, the brothers and sisters were about to meet at Portland International Airport, Portland, Oregon and this moment was shot by Justin's friend. Justin was waiting for her elder blood sister at the airport. It was so eager to see it that it reached an hour before arriving time. So the picture is when they met 34 years after their separation.

Justin's mother-in-law was also there to greet her son's sister of her son. Maguire said in an interview: "As a mother of an adoptive child, I could not have planned a better gift to give to Justin than that." She felt blessed that finally, her son will not feel alone in the world.
Renee's take the meeting
Reindeer said in the video: "I knew about him all that time all that time, I just never thought to meet him, it's really amazing (...) We came from the same parents, what breaths me Because I have never known everyone who concerns me, and I never thought I would do it. "
Unanswered questions
Yes, they brought together but it did not answer all their questions. Why did not their father choose to abandon them on the same day? Many other issues like this remained unanswered because they have no way to contact their parents.
All they asked
The pair has settled with the fact that knowing all the facts is not necessary. They chose to be grateful that in a world so big, they were finally able to end up on the other. Without a doubt, their history has inspired many people to restart in search of their lost or unknown family members.
