Samantha Kim Lyons, 41, grew up with racial mirrors unlike many other transrcial adoptees. Her late father was white; her mom is a third-generation Japanese-American. Her childhood was spent in Hawai’i and later southern California. But like other Korean adoptees, Lyons finds herself searching for deeper connection to Korea and to her adopted self later in life, for the first time.
