In 2017, a family search program "Looking for Relatives" on Hunan Satellite TV came to a very special guest, Joyce, a 22-year-old girl from Belgium, entrusted the program team to help her find her parents.
It had been 21 years since she was adopted, and during that time, Joyce had never been to China, not even speaking Chinese.
"I just want to know how I got here," Joyce said, and with a lot of hard work, she finally found five families who were a good match.
Two of the families were in perfect harmony with Joyce's situation, and even the aunt of one of them took a single look at Joyce and insisted that Joyce was their child.
It's just that when the DNA test results came out, Joyce, who was obsessed with finding the answer, burst into tears.
Abandoned baby girl
On October 22, 1995, a welfare home in Yiyang City, Hunan Province, welcomed a new resident, a baby girl who had only been born for a short time, and was abandoned at the door of the welfare home.
When Zhou Junjun found her, the baby was already red from the wind, and he wanted to find the parents of the baby girl, but the child had nothing on him, and no information was left, so he made up his mind not to let the baby girl find her family and send it back.
At that time, the surveillance was not developed, and it was impossible to find who abandoned the baby girl at the door of the welfare home, and even if the police were called, there were not many useful clues, so the police could not do anything.
Unable to find relatives, Zhou Junjun had no choice but to send the baby girl to the welfare home, and Yu Jikun, the director of the welfare home at that time, took Yi as the surname and named the girl Yi Sulan.
In the face of abandoned children, the director is heartbroken but helpless, most of the orphanages are girls, and many are healthy girls, but they can't avoid being abandoned by their vicious families.
Fortunately, the staff of the welfare home are very attentive, and although the children's life is hard, they are also growing day by day. On an ordinary day in 1996, the welfare home ushered in a special couple, and Yi Sulan's fate took a turn from then on.
Mr. and Mrs. Bakers, from Belgium, were traveling in China and passed by the Yiyang Welfare Institute when they decided to adopt a daughter.
Previously, the couple had already adopted a boy in Bolivia, the future brother of Yesuran.
It turned out that Becks's wife had congenital heart disease, and if she gave birth, her life would be in danger, so the couple decided to adopt a child.
Because the Bakers had a good family and the adoption procedures were quickly completed, the couple returned to Belgium with their children, and Isolan became Joyce, an abandoned baby girl who loved her family.
The character of the Bakers has also been inspected by the welfare institute, and the two are very open-minded in raising their children, and the brother and sister have been growing up in a happy environment.
The couple was very fond of this little daughter, and as soon as they arrived in Belgium, they took her to the largest local shopping mall to buy a bunch of baby things.
Joyce and her brother poured all the love of the husband and wife, and they did their best to create a suitable living environment for their children.
But no matter how careful parents are, there are still places that cannot be reached. From an early age, Joyce discovered that her skin color was different from that of other children, and she often felt the same way as her mother.
Whenever Joyce asked this question, her mother would always gently tell her that she was a mother and the person who loved her the most, regardless of the color of her skin.
Joyce, who was still young, seemed to understand whether she understood it or not, but she knew that her mother loved her, so the matter of skin color was buried in her heart until she was an adult at the age of 18.
Joyce, who is now an adult, receives a small box from her parents, which contains the secrets of her background, and Joyce opens it and begins a journey to find her relatives.
Thousands of miles to find relatives
Joyce is very smart, and the Bakers never skimp on money when it comes to raising children, so Joyce is fluent in many Chinese languages and has excellent grades.
As she grew up, she also realized that she was not born to her parents, but she didn't expect that even her brother was too. The small box her parents handed her contained Joyce's notarized certificate of adoption, but Joyce didn't know Chinese and couldn't understand what it meant.
Her parents told her that she had been adopted by a welfare home in Yiyang, Hunan Province, China, and that Joyce had the idea of finding her biological parents, but she only wanted to know why she had been abandoned.
The Bexes were also supportive of their daughter's idea and provided financial support, saying goodbye to her adoptive parents and promising her that she would return before Joyce set foot on Chinese soil.
Just crossed thousands of miles to China, Joyce fell into trouble as soon as she landed, because she was unfamiliar with Chinese and she couldn't Chinese, which made her search for her relatives even more difficult.
Not knowing where to start, Joyce had to find help from a family search organization, and the staff suggested that Joyce first go to the Yiyang Welfare Institute to check the information.
But time was too long, the original welfare home moved the address, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to find the new address of the welfare home, but the complexity of the matter was far beyond their imagination.
The original old dean has retired, and most of the staff of the year have left or retired, and it is not easy to find the file about Joyce back then, but it only proves that Joyce picked it up at the door.
Zhou Junjun, who sent Joyce to the welfare home, only picked her up, and was not Joyce's biological father.
Seeing that things are at an impasse, Joyce is helpless even if she is anxious, just as Joyce's studies in Belgium are about to begin, and she will not be able to stay in China for long.
Fortunately, just before Joyce returned to Belgium, a family search show appeared in front of Joyce, will this be a turning point for Joyce?
Hope is shattered
Before Joyce contacted the program team, she also came up with a stupid way, which was to post an advertisement to find relatives, hoping that someone would see and contact her.
The family search notice is very detailed, and how Joyce entered the welfare home and what she looks like to now is clearly marked.
At the same time, Joyce also contacted a family search show, and Joyce's story and main information were put on the Internet by the staff, using the Internet to find her biological parents.
In the era of science and technology, the flow of information is very convenient, and Joyce didn't wait long for several families looking for relatives to contact the program team.
After screening, Joyce met with five families looking for relatives under the arrangement of the program team, but in the end, only two families matched Joyce's situation.
Because the two families are old people in the family who lost their children without telling their parents, they are forced to separate.
And after Joyce met these two families, her heart was also full of hope, one family looked at Joyce and insisted that it was their lost daughter, and the eldest daughter of another family looked very similar to Joyce.
This excessive coincidence makes everyone's hearts excited, but the DNA test results are very disappointing, because none of them are Joyce's biological parents.
Hearing the news, even Joyce, who has always been cheerful, couldn't help but burst into tears. Mr. and Mrs. Bakers, who had been worried about their daughter, also came to China, and when Joyce saw the two, she couldn't help but hug her parents tightly.
As Joyce's graduate school life was about to begin, she had to stop looking for her family and return to Belgium with her parents.
But Joyce still did not give up, and in 2021, she also submitted an application to the relevant institutions to start teaching in rural Yiyang, until now.
Write at the end
There are many people who don't understand why her adoptive parents are so good to Joyce, why she is still obsessed with finding her biological parents.
In fact, the ultimate goal of Joyce's search for her relatives is to find out why she was abandoned by her parents, rather than being raised and returning to her biological parents.
She also volunteered to teach during her winter and summer vacations, and spent the rest of her time in Belgium going to school and accompanying her parents, which can be said to be an obsession of hers, and I hope she can achieve her wish as soon as possible.
