Last weekend we had the opportunity to celebrate Lunar New Year with some adoptive families in our area. Most of our children are from Korea, so it's really fun to get all of the kids togther. We had a great potluck dinner of mostly authentic foods, the kids got to make a dragon craft (since it's the year of the dragon),
then they got dressed up in their hanboks and had a parade
and a quick photo shoot
We have always enjoyed meeting other families who have adopted. I am finding that the adoption community is very supportive of each other and friendships develop very quickly because we all share a passion that is huge. I found it interesting that at this event two kids tables were set up for the kids to be able to eat together. Naturally, the boys took one table and the girls took the other. Most of the kids were older, but Neylan just gravitated towards them, especially the boys. He did not want to sit with us and kept getting out of his chair to go socialize with the big Korean boys. He was the youngest boy there, but not afraid or shy at all around the other kids.
