The Korean War Baby has in the past asked Daewon Wenger Secretary General of GOA’L, tell me about your Adoption Story. I mean sharing and knowing each others experience helps to bond, right? Daewon told me that he prefers to keep his own story personal, so I assumed it was a Swiss kind of thing. I even asked him about Rev. Kim DoHyun and how long have you known him. Daewon told me, since he became SG of GOA’L, so I was surprised when these documents were sent to members just recently. I resigned my membership in GOA’L this week.

Dongari_Switzerland a Swiss Korean Adoptee group,
Co-Founders
Rev. Kim DoHyun &
Daewon Wenger김대원(Kim Daewon)
Please NOTE: 30.03.2003
In the 3rd Paragraph it is noted that “the old version of this site was published in English…several changes inside the Dongari association…this association is primary for Adoptees living in Switzerland…”
THEN:
“Jan Wenger, the former Administrator of this Site left the Organisation. We would like to thank him very much for supporting our interests on the web….”
The Korean War Baby just wonders if this is the person who said he did not know Rev. Kim DoHyun until 2004. WHO IS Jan Wenger? I don’t know…could be a brother of Daewon. But how “interesting” (Nicole and Kim Jong Eh 김종예 must think so, eh) that “Jan Wenger left the association of Dongari March 30, 2003 seven years ago.
Daewon Wenger- 2004.2 Elected Secretary General, Global Overseas Adoptees’ Link
