"“The Legacy Project began as our first effort to document the stories of first-generation Korean Americans who immigrated in the 1970s and 1980s. It started with a simple video of my parents in their home. I asked them about their childhood in Korea, their favorite memories, and their biggest regrets. What came out of that conversation is something my children and their children will have forever.”"

"Coming together after connecting through the adoptee community, Sarah, Laura, and Joy reflect on the unexpected bonds that can emerge later in life. Their conversation explores adoption trauma, reunion, belonging, and the healing that comes from finding people who recognize and understand their experiences."

"Raised in Seoul by a missionary family with deep roots in Korea, Laura Underwood grew up immersed in Korean culture while feeling disconnected from her own origins and identity. Through DNA testing, adoption records, and connection with the adoptee community, she has begun reclaiming her story and redefining it on her own terms."

"Growing up in Seoul in an American missionary family, Sarah Weber was surrounded by Korean culture while feeling increasingly disconnected from it. Her journey as a transracial adoptee led her to confront questions of language, identity, and belonging, shaping how she now supports her own daughter as an intercountry adoptee."
