Education and support are as essential as food, water, and love to the long-term health and success of all adopted people and their families. Adoption and race are complicated in a world where most people are raised by the parents that gave birth to them, and where people of color still struggle for equity and justice. At Pact, we know we must speak honestly and openly about the realities of racism, and the challenges that children and youth of color face in our not-so-colorblind society. We know that when we talk about the complex truths of adoption with honesty and courage, we create opportunities for families to become closer and stronger, and for children to feel more comfortable in their full identity – which always includes at least two families.

We do this through webinars, conferences, 2 annual camps and multiple support groups.
