Membership Benefits

Members get a chance to meet and connect with other African/ Black/ Mixed adoptees and fosters. For many members, this is the first time they have met a group of other adoptees. AFAAD, due in large part to its organic support network, provides members with a safe and nurturing environment for them to work through feelings and questions they may have around their adoption. Members benefit from fun social events, including dinners, happy hours and cultural performances and our annual gathering!
Member Responsibilites:
Every African/ Black/ Mixed adoptee and foster has a unique adoption story. AFAAD members pledge to respect other members’ experiences. Adoption and Foster care experiences are owned by the adoptee, and only he or she may share that story with others.

The group listserv is a dynamic forum for members to explore the various issues surrounding adoption as a global phenomenon through discussion and debate. While AFAAD does not endorse any of the posts as positions supported or held by the association, it does recognize that every member has the right to post to the listserv. Members post to the listserv understanding that their messages will be read only by AFAAD members. AFAAD requests that all members honor this confidentiality.
