For the parent raising a family between two worlds
Finding Home with Dr. Betty Choi

You found your way here because some part of you is holding on to a language, a culture, a version of yourself you were told to leave behind. Maybe you grew up hiding it. Maybe you’re just realizing the loss. Maybe you’re further along and need someone who understands why this is so much harder than it looks and still very much worth it.
Finding Home is a newsletter about raising children while straddling two cultures in a world that demands one. It’s a space for the hope and the heartbreak, the progress and the pivots. Not just about language, but about connection: to our children, to our past, and to the people around us now.
I’m Dr. Betty Choi, a Harvard-trained pediatrician, a second-generation Chinese American mom, and someone who grew up rejecting her heritage and chose to come back. I write honestly about both.
You’re welcome here.
