A global grantmaking foundation, built by and for intercountry adoptees
Intercountry adoption is a lifelong story. The support should be too.
We fund heritage travel, healing, and growth for adult intercountry adoptees - the support many adoptees need and most can’t afford.
Our Approach
We are solution people. We start with what’s already working — the resilience adoptees carry, the community already showing up for each other, the paths already proven to help. Then we look at what’s still missing. And we fund it.
The Gap
A community of millions. Support for only a few.
1.1M+
Intercountry adoptees worldwide
Millions
More when families & supporters are counted
Most
Never access post-adoptive support

Why We Exist
Three things we heard, again and again.
For decades, adoptees who traveled to their birth countries came back saying the same three things:
“That was the most important thing I’ve ever done.”
“I almost couldn’t afford to go.”
“I need help thinking about this when I return.”
Those three sentences are our whole reason for being: fund the journey, remove the cost, and fund the healing that follows. Read our full story.
Where We Stand
What we do. What we don’t.
We do
- Fund post-adoptive support for adult intercountry adoptees
- Make grants for heritage travel, therapy, and identity & community programs
- Serve people who are already adopted - and the loved ones walking with them
We don’t
- Facilitate, arrange, or promote adoptions
- Advocate for or against adoption as a practice
- Take positions on anyone’s adoption story but the one they tell us
Your gift funds heritage travel, healing, and growth for adoptees who need it and can’t afford it alone.
