Mission
To support transnational and transracial adoptees as they explore their identity, birthland, and adoption stories.
We do this through providing a supportive community, welcoming adoptees, their loved ones, and community members to learn about adoption and adoptees’ respective birth countries.
Vision & Purpose
To be the bridge assisting adoptees make meaningful connections to the adoption community.
We will do this through the following actions:

To foster a supportive community amongst adoptees, their family, friends, and community (Discussion Groups and Counseling/Therapy Services).
To educate the adoption community and public regarding adoption-related topics and provide opportunities to create connections with adoptees’ birth cultures.
