The Voices of Adoption community has been created by and for adoptees, adoptive parents, adoption professionals, authors, birth-parents and experts in the fields of medicine, social work and advocacy, as well as all others who have been touched by adoption.

All of us in the adoption community are part of an on-going conversation. We must learn to listen, support, respect, and grow through our interactions with one another. Thank you for sharing in this journey. Below you will find articles written by members of the adoption community who willingly share their experiences. If you would like to become a part of this project, please visit our sign up area
