Please click through the tabs below to learn more about why we exist.
Our vision is of an educated
and aware International adoption community in which prospective and new parents have
the resources and knowledge available to address any issues that may arise while
completing the adoption process. Our mission is to provide
resources and information on the variety of issues parents may face in the
process of completing their international adoption so
they are equipped to make informed decisions in continuing to care for their
child, rather than discontinuing or disrupting the adoption.
ü
To inform the International adoption community through
our web site, providing on-line education, resources, and training for parents,
guides, social workers, etc. on the various issues, such as signs of grieving,
post institutional behavior and other unexpected issues that may arise during
the adoption process.
ü
To prevent the disruptions of adoptions.
ü
To provide direct support and information to
families in foreign countries who are having difficulty proceeding with their adoptions by
partnering with agencies and their appointed guides in the process, as well as
having resident partners in-country to give counsel and guidance to families.
Ø
We will provide education and support regardless
of race, color, religion, creed or national origin.
Ø
We will respect the laws and decisions of the country, while offering constructive solutions to adoptive parents and children
in crisis.
Ø
We will (attempt to) give preference to the needs
of the children over own needs or the needs of the
adoptive parents.
