South Florida parents with Chinese-born children keep heritage alive
Penny Drapkin and her husband were living in New York when they brought their adopted daughter home from China.

In New York, they could take Julie to Chinatown, immerse themselves in the food and the language -- all in a place where their daughter could see faces like hers.

When they moved to Pembroke Pines five years ago, finding Chinese culture proved more difficult, Drapkin said.
