Hey to make it simple as possible and to the point I'm from a half/half culture. My mother is from okinawa and my(real) father is american puerto rico, and cuban decent. He was in the marines at that time based in okinawa, my mother was just a regular country girl making money at the hostel clubs targated for milatary people. Atleast this is from what I was told from my my mom's. The story from the begining i have to trust the facts from what i was told. Anyway My real father left Efrien Velez when his stay was over he told my mom he will be back to take us back to the U.S. But that never happen. So a year later my mother went back to what she know's make money back to the adult entertainment bussiness. She had met another marine James Whale who she had fallen in love with. I was born in 78 she met him in 79. She is five years older then him and with a 1yr old son, he was 20 i think i'm not really sure. But he accepted me and her and was in love. My mother was beautifull nice body long hair and the most sincere eyes. She won this new man and after one year he promised to bring her and her son to the U.S. Guess what he did by 1980 me and my mom were in Newark N.J. i was 2 at the time. Now remeber since i was born a in japan i gained japanese citizenship, please keep this in mind. I can go alot more into details but if people want to know i will. Anyhow's i went on living in america my entire life moving from newark, N.J. Jersey City, N.J. TomsRiver, N.J. Brooklyn, N.Y. My mom and step dad got divorce when i was 4yrs old and she was left in a country she knew nothing about with no friends or even speaking the language fluenty she was Stuck with me and my half brother James named after his father. This is part one of my life this is Livingproof if you wish to hear more please let me know and i will it's a story to tell. In many chapters but i would like to hear other people advices and stories, and opinons. Thanks for reading

I just want you to know your not alone. At least you look happy in your picture. I think it was wrong for the military to allow all that happened between the people in Japan back then. My soon to be ex-husband is only a year older than you and he is half/half also. His father was air force and his mother Japanese. He has 3 sisters and one half sister and half brother from his mom. Only the half brother and his mom is still in Japan. I believe all he went through growing up has created a mess in him as an adult. He has never gotten over it. It was terrible. Hopefully there are some offspring from that place in time that has been able to have a happy childhood and have grown up to be productive, and positive adults.

i think you are far more lucky than than other people i hear with similar experiences. some of them do not even know who their father is, and where they can find them. i wish you all good luck in your endeavors.
