Members of the AFA have formed a number of support groups designed to provide targeted support to specific AFA members. Listed below are information and contact details of these support groups.

• Kimchi Club (Korea) - is a subgroup of the AFA. It consists of Canberra families who have adopted children from Korea and who gather together to celebrate Korean culture. These gatherings are a means to keep our children connected to the country of their birth while having fun at the same time. The Kimchi Club's objectives are to interface with the Canberra Korean community and work with the AFA to provide access for adoptive families to Korean culture. Participation in the Kimchi Club is free to AFA members. Please contact Deb Vertessy to find out more about the Kimchi Club.

• Club Prietenii (Romania)
  
  
• Yeppeun Byol Playgroup - meets weekly on Mondays (excluding ACT public and school holidays) in Hughes, ACT. The playgroup was set up in 2004 by Korean adoptive families and is open to families who have Korean children under school age. Korean culture/language activities are included in parts of the program. Interested new families may contact the Yeppeun Byol Playgroup through email for details.
