Serene first found out she was adopted when she was 16. But she never took the step to discover who her biological parents were, for fear of offending her adoptive family. However, in February 2021, after stumbling upon her adoption documents while spring cleaning, she approached the CLS for help to track them down.
Apart from cold crime cases, the volunteers at the Crime Library Singapore (CLS) also work to reunite families. Can they successfully help the adopted help-seekers find their birth parents?

Why would being adopted means being a outcast in the family? I am sure her foster parents chose her and love her a lot too to bring her up. It takes so much patience, savings and love to bring a child to adulthood. I hope this does not convey messages that being adopted means being an outcast in the family. In fact, the family has chose to love the child so much, and did not in anyway gave up.

True in certain ways. Why she said outcast... ? But we really don't know her situation. Maybe she having some difficulties along the way during her childhood which we really don't know. Some people are not good in expressing or interpret how they feels sometimes. Its a very emotional thingys. We are not her to be judgemental about her words, feelings, expression or why....

Willa Mak's biological mother meant to say that they used to live in an outpost village, not Blk 38. She was translating directly from Hokkien to rudimentary Mandarin - Swah Pah in Hokkien (meaning Swah: mountainous/forested area Pah: shanties) is commonly used by the older generation to reference villages situated in the more far-flung areas in SG where agricultural farming took place. Her literal translation is typical of elderly dialect speakers who learnt the language during the sweeping Speak Mandarin campaign back in the 80s. You're welcome.
