Description:
Korean Focus is a Washington, DC area organization that offers information, support, and friendship to families with an interest in Korean culture and the Korean American community. Our members and friends include adoptive families, adopted Korean Americans, and Korean American families.

Korean Focus helps adoptive and multicultural Korean American families develop an appreciation of the rich heritage of Korea and the contributions of Korean Americans to American culture by offering educational programs for children and adults, support and information to prospective adoptive families, presentations on Korean culture and Korean American issues, social events centered around Korean holidays, and ontact with the Korean American community through collaboration on programs and events. We inform our members and friends of activities through our website and through a quarterly newsletter with articles and event announcements.

Korean Focus was founded in June 1996, and is not-for-profit, all-volunteer, and agency-independent. We are proud to support KAAN (the Korean American, Adoptee, Adoptive Family Network), a national network of groups with an interest in adoption from Korea. Although we are based in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan area, we serve families beyond this georgraphic area by providing support and information through our website and discussion list. If you would like more information about membership, please e-mail Korean Focus, or see the membership page.

Korean Focus proud to have been recognized by the Korean American Coalition with a 2003 Bridge Builder Award, which recognized us for our efforts to form connections between our families and the Korean American community.
