You may remember seeing a post on Most Viral over 6 months ago that featured Allen Thomas, an American veteran who had lost touch with his children and was desperate to find them again.


In the 1960s he was stationed in Korea where he met and married a Korean woman named Pae Sun Kun. They had fraternal twins in 1967; James Allen and Sandia Lynn were born in Seoul, Korea, at Songnim Gynaecology, Namyong-dong, Seoul, on September 10, 1967.

When his tour was over, Allen returned to the US, but his wife refused to go with him. Before he could travel back to Korea to fight for custody, Sun Kun had put the children up for adoption. He had never seen them since. To try and find them, he started a global campaign to be put in touch with his children.

Imgurians shared their support for the father, their desire to be kept updated, and even shared their own stories.

OP promised to keep us posted as the story unfolded, and last week OP finally delivered! Demikmj updated the community with some great news; Thomas was reunited with his children after 40 years of being apart.


UPDATE: Veteran's 40 Year Search for twins is OVER!

We love it when a story has a happy ending. Congratulations to the Thomas family!
