African American Adult Adoptees Network
 

December 2005
The Institute for Family and Child Well-Being is pleased to launch...

The African American
Adult Adoptees Network &
Online Discussion Group

"...connecting and supporting African American adult adoptees."


 

OUR MISSION

Welcome to the African American Adult Adoptees Network.  This adult adoptee network was created in 2005 to support African American adults that were adopted as children.  Our goals are:

1.  To create a supportive national network of African American adults that share a common experience of growing up adopted.

2.  To host an online discussion group for the exchange of information, resources and experiences related to African American adoption.

3.  To support the ongoing mental, emotional and spiritual healing of individuals seeking to better understand and make sense of their adoption experience.
