At the start of our multicultural family was a cross-cultural love story. When we met, my husband-to-be was also an undocumented immigrant, so the topic of immigration was tied to our hearts from the very beginning.
In the summer of 2012, I started writing about how we met, how we fell in love, and how we navigated the immigration system throughout our dating and marriage. Some of these posts quickly became popular reads here on the blog.
