Amanda Assalone Cho was born in Seoul, South Korea, and adopted into a white family in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She always believed that she was given up for adoption because her birth mother was young and could not financially raise a child. So when she received an email saying theyd been found, she quickly learned the truth. Her story had been fabricated and she was given up for adoption because she was not a boy.
Amanda currently resides in Atlanta, GA and looks back at each moment in her life happening for a reason. She is not filled with any regrets and is thankful to be surrounded by the Korean American and Korean American adoptee community in Atlanta. As she continues to learn to live life for herself and not others, she hopes to embrace her identity more and more.Nick Kizirnis, selected a song about the gaps and misunderstandings in relationships ie. accepting the present moment and reality while searching for the truth.
