Asia Garden celebrates adopted children for Chinese New Year

JACKSON, Tenn. — Families in the Hub City came together Monday evening at Asia Garden restaurant to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Owners with the restaurant welcomed several families who have adopted children. They took pictures, mingled and enjoyed traditional cuisine.

“This event is something they’ve been doing for 10 years with the West Tennessee Adopted Families group,” Hunter Jones, an adoptive parent, said. “All the families who have gone through this process before, who have gone through the two or three weeks in China or have gone through the two years of waiting, it’s just a huge celebration of adoption, and then what’s going on in China in general.”

This Chinese New Year marks the Year of the Dog.
