Our Values
Adoptee Leadership
We believe in the power of a global community of adoptees, led by adoptees, for adoptees
Space to Nurture Growth
Adoptees need safe spaces to be rooted in our stories and shared experiences, and grow in community with one other
Global Connectedness
Being connected through a global network equips us to better respond to emerging needs of local adoptee communities
Shaping Public Narratives
Adoptees should have an active role in shaping the public discourse around adoption to be more reflective of our shared history and lived experiences
Advocating for Each Other
It is our responsibility to advocate for the safety and well-being of our community
