I met him when he checked into LePeranakanHotel.While registering his Birthdate, i noted he was born in Singapore. New York resident, Jerry Tan, tired after flying in at 2am was on his way to meet his mum after 40 long years. He had a lot of bags,stuffed with gifts and things for his Singapore sides, here in Bedok, a town on the East Side of Singapore. The local Crime Library was responsible for connecting the dots that made it possible for the Reunion on Mother`Day. With a name of Jerry Lee Mullins of his adoptive parents, he was raised on the Coast of louisiana ,currently the troubled oil spills tragedy. Nevertheless, he was woken up on 10am local and put on to the locals numbers that would arrange the meeting on the Blocks on the East Side. Crime Library Singapore, May 8, 2010 , makes another success in human interests and happiness creators for another Singapore` family and an American Boy. His current interest in the Theatres in New York would somehow be more meaningfull on Homecoming and Discovery. Home is where the heart is, especially the nest where you were born.
Jerry says of his life story:


"In 1972, my parents, the Mullins, moved to Singapore and rented a house on Jalan Limau Manis. Within a year’s time, my mother met a lady named Mrs Silva who lived down the road and taught at an all-girls’ school.

"One day, Mrs Silva met a woman at the butcher shop who knew of a pregnant Hokkien-Chinese woman in her fifth month, my birth mother. She worked as a wash amah and her husband, my birth father, was a taxi driver. They lived by Changi Beach. Unfortunately, the family was too poor to afford another baby.

"While my birth mother wanted to keep me, my birth father was insistent that I’d be given up for adoption because of the additional financial burden. They could not afford an eighth child.

"The only condition my birth parents required of the prospective adopting parents was that they paid for the tubal ligation of my birth mother. This way they would not have to endure the dilemma of having yet another child.

"After hearing the story, Mrs Silva asked if my parents minded adopting a Chinese baby. They said no. So Mrs Silva told them about the Tan’s situation. The Mullins expressed interest in adopting the Chinese baby and agreed to the terms of the adoption.

"Four months later I was born on August 04, 1973 at 2:13am. Four or five days after I was born, Mrs Silva accompanied my mother to Kandang Kerbau Hospital to pick me up and take me home.

"The final legal adoption took a year to be approved while the Department of Social Welfare reviewed the parental skills of my adopting parents. The petition was approved on August 5, 1974, and was finally filed on August 15, 1974". Some shots of the happy moments.
