Meet Korean adoptees: Kyle & Travis [KAD Twins]

Man Ho Park (Travis Charles Balitz / Jang Jun) and Cheon Ho Park (Kyle Robert Balitz / Jang Moon) were born in Jeollabuk-Do, South Korea and were adopted by James and Donna. They have an adoptive sister named Melissa. They currently reside in Hastings Minnesota. During February 2018, the entire adoptive family visited their birth family during the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. It was an amazing and healing experience. You may follow along their journey through our blog which showcases photos and videos of our story.
