In the meantime, the motherhood of migrant mothers has been fixed to a specific image and role. This study explores the motherhood of migrant mothers as a journey of constant mother-becoming rather than acquiring a part. In particular, it aims to understand and reveal their experiences in detail by uncovering the meaning of the journey of becoming a mother through interpretative phenomenological analysis. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with three married immigrant women raising children. Based on previous research, the interview data presented three difficulties of female marriage migrants' mothering experience, and based on this, a framework for analysis was prepared. As a result of the study, their becoming mothers was typified by the following incidents: Concerns about the mother's native language, finding ways to bypass stereotypes, and revealing the migrant mother and expanding role. The comprehensive meaning of becoming a mother was presented as ‘migrant mothers as agents.’ Becoming a mother of migrant mothers is a complex journey that cannot be explained by symbols such as pitiful and young population or successor. To effectively support female marriage migrants as mothers, it is essential to consider the broader context and provide ample community support.
