TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Two brothers who were found abandoned in a park in the Yilan County

township of Luodong one evening in 1985 have grown up in the United States and now want to find their birth mother, reports said Saturday (September 21).

On the evening of May 9, 1985 at 10 p.m., police were alerted to the fact that crying was heard from a space used as an air raid shelter in the city’s Zhongshan Park, the Central News Agency reported.

They found two boys, aged five months and two or three years respectively, with a stash of milk powder and clean clothes but no written note.

An American couple named Skiles took care of them at a private kindergarten in the nearby town of Dongshan and gave them their surnames, but one year later, they found a couple in a village in Missouri willing to adopt them, CNA reported.    [FULL  STORY]
