Thank you for sharing. I was born in Korea, my mother was from North Korea. I was bullied as a kid, but I never lost a fight. I always stood up. I was raised in Oklahoma, HELL. Take care Joy! I teach Asian American literature. I love Dictee by Cha, about how Korean women are killed. She herself was murdered.
I just love these stories. They are so heart to heart and are so honest and pure. It’s like they come from their souls! So beautiful and I thank each and everyone for sharing their stories with us.
Your words and experiences reflect my own, in ALLLLLL WAYS. Also brought to the states at 6. I remember , too, what happened in Korea and the flight from Korea to the states. Even your 3 months in Korea... lol... all from the White girl perspective!! 😆 hahaha

Just an incredible story. I'm a KAD that also reunited with my birth mom. I'm in Korea now for my second visit.
How wonderful. Best to you and your family. Let us know if you ever want to share your story.
KoreanAmericanStory.org would love to someday
Amazing and raw. I love Joy. She’s a beautiful person.
Wow, this is beautiful! I am also a KAD. So well spoken, articulate, genuine. Thank you for this.
Amazing that I listened to her recall her memories and I started remembering to. I was also 6 years old.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. My wife is a Korean adoptee...many similarities to your story.
