What We Offer

Experience shows that at various times in life, the issues and concerns of adoption need to be addressed. We provide our members with opportunities to gain further understanding of adoption issues through:

  • Conducting a monthly support group in New Westminster, BC, Canada
  • Internet "chat" support group (every 4th Wednesday of the month, from 8-9pm Pacific time.)
  • Individual peer support
  • Resource library
  • Referrals to professionals and other service groups
  • Speakers Bureau to educate groups on post-adoption issues
  • Quarterly Newsletter

Our Mandate

  • To encourage and develop a recognition of the benefits of family preservation and openness in adoption practice.
  • To establish and operate a Post Adoption Resource Centre providing education, consultation, counseling and support to those touched by adoption: adoptees, birthparents, adoptive parents, and concerned professionals.
  • To provide community education programs, panel presentations and workshops on post adoption issues for any members of the community who wish to learn more about adoption and reunion issues.
