Sessions for Children

Children learn about Korean language, story-telling, arts, crafts, food, music, dance and more. ASIA Families offers separate classes tailored to each age group, from preschool to preteen, led by Korean-American adults, including adult adoptees, as well as teen mentors.

"My kids love seeing their friends, playing games, learning about Korea, and being with other families that look like our family. And the food, especially the food."

Sessions for Teens

Our teen sessions provide a fun, interactive setting for teenagers to explore what it means to be Korean and adopted in America. The sessions are led by Korean American adults as well as adult adoptees who have grown up in the U.S. and, in many cases, also lived in Korea.

"I like EVERYTHING about the teen program, but mostly, I like making new friends in a safe environment."

Sessions for Adults

While children and teens attend their classes, adults attend classes addressing their needs, interests, and concerns as adoptive parents. Recent sessions included an adult adoptee panel discussion on race and identity, intro to K-drama, Korean arts and crafts, modern Korean history, and Korean cooking.

"We enjoy the quality and variety of parent sessions (they're exceptional), but the best part is the sense of community, the support from other parents just like us."
