Life can change in a moment. South Korean pastor Lee Jong-Rak had such a moment when his son, Eun-man, was born with cerebral palsy and a severely disfigured face in the mid-1980s. Lee sold his home and his family business to pay his son’s medical bills, and moved his small family into the hospital. Eun-man—whose name means “full of God’s grace”—was given only months to live.
But Eun-man was—and is—resilient. He is now 29 and one of the many disabled whom Lee cares for in his home in Seoul, South Korea. Lee’s experience as a father to one disabled child inspired him to become the father of many. He is the man behind the “baby box,” a method of saving unwanted children in Seoul, where hundreds of babies are abandoned in trash cans and public restrooms and on the streets each year, and the subject of a new documentary, “The Drop Box,” just released by Kindred Image and Focus on the Family.
