Hidden Valley looks a lot like the dozens of other camps that dot the woods of central Maine. There’s a lake, some soccer fields and horses. Bui the campers make the difference. They’re all American parents who have adopted kids from China They’re at Hidden Valley to find bridges from their children’s old worlds to the new. Diana Becker watches her 3-year-old daughter Mika dance to a Chinese version of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”“Her soul is Chinese,” she says,“but really she’s growing up American.”Hidden Valley and a handful of other “culture camps” serving families with children from overseas reflect the huge rise in the number of foreign adoptions, from 7, 093 in 1990 to 15, 774 last year. Most children come from Russia (4, 491 last year) and China (4, 206) but there are also thousands of others adopted annually from South Anieiica, Asia and Eastern Europe. Aftei culling through what can be miles of red tape, parents often come home to find a new predicament. “At first you think, ‘I need a child,”says Sandy Lachter of Washington, D.C., who with her husband, Steve, adopted Amelia, 5, from China in 1995. “Then you think,‘What does the child need?’”The culture camps give families a place to find answers to those kinds of questions. Most grew out of local support groups; Hidden Valley was started last year by the Boston chapter of Families with Children from China, which includes 650 families. While parents address weighty issues like how to raise kids in a mixed-race family, their children just have fun riding horses, singing Chinese songs or making scallion pancakes. “My philosophy of camping is that they could be doing anything, as long as they see other Chinese kids with white parents,”says the director, Peter Kassen, whose adopted daughters Hope and Lily are 6 and 4.The camp is a continuation of language and dance classes many of the kids attend during the year. “When we rented out a theater for ‘Mulan,’ it was packed,” says Stephen Chen of Boston, whose adopted daughter Lindsay is 4. Classes in Chinese language, art and calligraphy are taught by experts, like Renne Lu of the Greater Boston Chinese Cultural Center. “Our mission is to preserve the heritage,” Lu says.Kids who are veteran campers say the experience helps them understand their complex heritage. Sixteen-year-old Alex was born in India and adopted by Kathy and David Brinton of Boulder, Colo., when he was 7.“I went through a stage where I hated India, hated everything about it,” he says. “You just couldn’t mention India to me.”But after six sessions at the East India Colorado Heritage Camp, held at Snow Mountain Ranch in Estes Park, Colo., he hopes to travel toIndia after he graduates from high school next year.What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the passage?Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “predicament” in PARAGRAPH TWO?Where are the adopted kids served by Hidden Valley from?What can a culture camp help to do according to Peter Kassen?What can be inferred about Alex from the last paragraph?
