Last week we stumbled across a link to a Los Angeles Times story, fittingly enough, on Facebook detailing the efforts of Southern California resident Steve Inman and his utilization of the social networking site to find his long lost older sister. It is an amazing story and we want to congratulate and send our best wishes to the Inmans on their newly reunited family. Here is an excerpt from the Los Angeles Times: He was told his father, Steve Sr., was stationed with the Army in Korea when he married his mother, Chum Ku Yi. When she went into labor with Sally, they couldn’t get to the base hospital in time, and the baby was born at a house in the village of Chang-mal. The couple raised her for about eight months in Korea with the help of a nanny, an old woman they knew. The Inmans were set to move to America, but the U.S. and Korean authorities would not approve documents stating that Steve Sr. was Sally’s father. So they left her with her grandmother while they went back to Steve’s hometown, Salt Lake City, to work out the problem. Growing up, the younger Steve was told his parents got a call one day from the grandmother, who said Sally’s nanny had come to visit because she missed the little girl and wanted to take her for a few days. The old woman never returned. Sally was gone. Also, check out this video clip from ABC11-WTVD in Raleigh-Durham, NC:
