WHO WE ARE...

Picture
Minnesota is known for what is pictured above, but we are also the residence to thousands of adopted Koreans. 

Since 2000, AK Connection has served as a resource for adult Korean adoptees in Minnesota by providing relevant information and building a supportive community. 
_We welcome all of the adult adopted Korean community to join us for events when they can, and to utilize this website as a reliable resource for connecting with one another.

We will update this news feed section (a.k.a. "The Kimchi Feed") of our website regularly to get you the latest news and information pertaining to AK Connection - our events, local events of interest, updates, and requests.
