Introduction I was reared as a “Tennerican,” part Tennessean, part Puerto Rican. But truth be known, I was born Korean. I was adopted and grew up in rural, East Tennessee. Feeling unmoored and fearing my children wouldn’t know me if I passed, my blog began in 2007 as a record of my existence. Mothermade progresses and swerves, just as my life has. To hear more on how I feel today or to view my storytelling, check out my YouTube channel @thekoreanhillbilly. Also, find more on Twitter and Instagram, @mothermade and on the Lost Daughters website.
