Summary/Abstract: Based on multi-site, long-term, ongoing research into the migratory trajectories of international migrant children living in Mexico, this chapter will describe and analyze the stories of three children who arrived from the United States to the state of Morelos, Mexico in 2012. Beto was born in Morelos, Mexico, while Flor and Lulu were born in the United States (Oregon and Arkansas, respectively). Beto moved to the United States when he was 2 years old. Flor was 10 and Lulu was 12 when they moved to Mexico. Beto and Lulu still live in Mexico, while Flor returned to Oregon two years ago.
