In this autoethnography, I utilize my experience as a Korean American adoptee (KAD) to theorize and challenge the meaning of belonging for the KAD community. Through autoethnographic vignettes, I explore the possibility of reimagining a digital homeland that views borders as markers of belonging instead of exclusion. Moreover, I theorize what it means to belong in a diaspora community where “homeland” is complicated. Overall, this autoethnography expands scholarship concerning the KAD community, centers an adoptee’s voice, and offers a hopeful vision for what KAD community looks like in a digital age
