Between Goodbyes
A Korean birth mother and her daughter struggle to stay reunited for the long haul.
Between Goodbyes POV

Now years into a tumultuous reunion, Mieke visits her family in Seoul. Uncovering backstories from both a birth family and their daughter, Between Goodbyes challenges conventional narratives about adoption, reunion, and queer kinship.
