Network

KAAN is a group that has dedicated itself to Korean adoptees and their families. Each year, they have a large conference that brings people together from all over. This year, the conference is in Boston, July 20-22. The conference has breakout sessions that cover a wide variety of subjects for parents and adoptees.

I haven’t been to one, but I hope to go one day. Money-wise it didn’t work out this year. We’re saving for adoptee number two. Last year, it was in Seoul, South Korea. I really wish I had been able to attend that one. When it was in Detroit (my back yard) I was totally oblivious to the event. I’m not sure where I was, but I missed the whole thing. This is pretty typical for me. I tend to get focused and the rest of the world fails to exist.

Anyhow, check out the KAAN conference website for more details. Anyone who is going to the conference, please let me know how things went when you come back. I’d love to post your thoughts on my blog for other parents who are thinking of going.

Even if you aren’t going, KAAN is a wonderful resource for adoptive parents. I urge you to visit them. I visit them often.
