A festival in Reno, Nevada will give adopted Asian children the opportunity to experience the culture of their birthplace. Attendees will celebrate the Chinese Moon Festival, which is considered one of the most important of the traditional Chinese festivals.

"The children also will make lanterns and listen to the story of 'Change E and Hou Yi', which is a common legend about the origin of the mid-autumn festival that often doubles as a family reunion. Dozens of families who have adopted children from Asia, mostly daughters from China, are putting on the event."

Organizers also believe that it's important for the families to be able to interact with other interracial families like themselves.
