The
Korean Beacon reports that Korean-Americans are thriving in the Twin Cities, in part because of a sizable adoptive population.
It studied the Twin Cities' Korean-American population, influential people in the community, local programs, and "hotspots."
The story states that "The booming population of Koreans in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and in Minnesota in general, is due not only to a vast number of immigrants, but also to adoptees from the Motherland--the latter of which is estimated to comprise 50% of the state’s rich Korean population."
