Debbie was born in Seoul Korea on February 29th, 1960
She was an orphan … abandoned on the steps of the Seoul
courthouse and picked up by missionaries at the age of three hours.
She lived six months in an orphanage with the name
AkSul Kim until she was adopted by James and Joan Freeman
of Anaheim, CA. entering via Portland, OR.
As a child she became a naturalized US citizen.
She spent her early childhood living in the shadows of Disneyland…
where she spent much time and acquired amazing memories.
