Building Community for Korean Adoptees in Minnesota

AK Connection creates space for Korean adoptees to connect, learn, celebrate culture, and build lasting community.

We honor the transracial and transnational adoptee experience and offer cultural, educational, and social programming for adoptees, their families, and their communities.

Who We Are

A community built by Korean adoptees, for Korean adoptees

AK Connection supports Korean adoptees as whole people. We believe identity, culture, belonging, and community matter. Through gatherings, educational opportunities, cultural celebrations, and shared experiences, we create spaces where adoptees can feel seen, supported, and connected.

Why It Matters

Connection, identity, and belonging

For many Korean adoptees, community is not something to be taken for granted. AK Connection helps create a place where shared experiences can be recognized, culture can be celebrated, and meaningful relationships can grow. Our work is rooted in the belief that adoptees deserve spaces that reflect their voices, stories, and lives.

Identity grows through shared experience, culture, and community. AK Connection creates space for all three.
