Between Two Worlds

A Note from the Founder

Haneul was created to help Korean adoptees find connection, resources, and community.

Founder’s Corner is a more personal space. Here, I share reflections from my own journey as a Korean adoptee—reconnecting with family, exploring identity, learning Korean, restoring citizenship, and navigating life between two worlds.

My hope is that these reflections help others feel seen, understood, and less alone in their own journeys.
