We are trying to decide if KC is the right place for our blended family. We adopted our son from South Korea and would like to find out if there will be issues with his looking different. Are there any Korean schools/markets/restaurants? Are there adoption support groups? We haven't decided what area to move to yet and so any information of this nature would be extremely helpful.

  1. I think so.  My children go to school in KC and their elementary school has just about every nationality.  It's really a beautiful thing!  I love it.  It's good for the children to see and be around different cultures and nationalities.  There are white, black, african, korean, hispanic......  and more.  We live on the KS side.  I am sure the MO side of KC is about the same.  

    Just let your child know that they are no different than any other child.  If he ever feels different, support him in his feelings.  It's only natural, no matter what the circumstance of the adoption.  I commend you for taking everything into consideration (community) and what not.  That's wonderful.


  2. Why don't you call the Chamber of Commerce.  Or go to city-data.com.

  3. Check any local universities for ethnic/cultural clubs.  We are active supporters of the African students club at the college in our town.  It's a great way for your son to continue to have contact with his birth culture.  It's great that you are taking this into consideration when planning a move.  

    Good luck!
