Kara Bos’ lawsuit could help her find out the identity of her mother. It could also change how adoptees use the legal system.
But more important to her, Bos might be able to get to who this is all about: her birth mother. She hopes that with her newfound legal status will come her father’s willingness to give her the information she seeks. The ruling will be announced June 12 in Seoul Family Court, and Bos wants to be in South Korea to hear it in person.
In 1984, Bos was adopted by Russell and Mariann Bedell, of Sheridan, Michigan. Growing up with her adoptive siblings Jenn and Tim, she was largely disinterested in her adoption story, her heritage or her homeland. Even when Bos traveled to South Korea for the first time in 2006, she didn’t have any intention of pursuing a birth-family search, or shouldering any of the emotional and financial burdens that come along with it.
Then, on Nov. 18, 2019, on the 36-year-anniversary of her abandonment, Bos filed her lawsuit. The court ordered a DNA test, and Bos flew to South Korea to undergo it in March. That day was the day she visited her assumed father’s apartment in Seoul, trying to speak to him and his wife in broken Korean. It was unclear to Bos whether the man knew anything about her or the lawsuit, which is being handled by his daughters.
