Area Koreans nurture their roots Worship service leads to outreach to community By Sara Gilbert FrederickSpecial to The Free Press Laura Stevens plans to involve her two children, both Korean adoptees, in the language school and the culture camp.
“It’s not that I necessarily want them to become fluent in the language,” she says. “But I do want to introduce them to that part of the culture, and that’s something we can’t do ourselves. I’d also like to be able to put them in touch with people who can possibly be mentors for them as they get older.” Sharing a positive message about their culture is what it’s all about to Park and Kim. “Physically, we can’t just blend in,” Kim says. “Our children will always know that they are different.
