Young Dock CHIN

1930 from Macau

Young Dock Chin was a six-month-old baby and paper son. He stayed on Angel Island for two days after his paper parents had to pass intense interrogations. Young Dock was adopted by a wealthy childless couple living outside of San Francisco and his paper family never saw him again.
