We are a national adoption education and advocacy organization joining domestic and international adoptees and their families. With a unique membership of adult adoptees, adoptive parents, birth parents, and many others joining together to share ideas, facilitate discussion and to promote ethical and informed adoption practice, pre adoption education and post placement services.  

Working for TODAY's adoption community, with insight from past adoption experience to make a better tomorrow for all members of the triad.

"Adoption is paradoxical through and through, a mix of grievous losses and joyous gains, tragic separation and firm belonging. We who live with the paradox day by day can manage yet another one: To be advocates for international adoption while simultaneously working to make it unnecessary."  Cheri Register, author, Are Those Kids Yours and IAA National Advisory Board Member.


Membership is free.  Join us today and help us advocate for you! 

Separately we each have a story to tell, TOGETHER  we can make our voices heard.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and
love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time
they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it...
always ~ Mahatma Gandhi
