We Believe:

Adoptees and natural parents should have access to all identifying information about each other when the adoptee reaches the age of majority.

Adoptees should have access to identifying information about the natural parents with the adoptive parent's permission before the age of majority.

Natural families and adoptive families should have the option for continuing contact at all times for the benefit of the adoptee.

Medical information should be available to all parties involved in an adoption at all times.

Every effort should be made to educate the public and mental health profesionals about the needs of those involved in adoption in order to make adoption practices more humane.

Every effort should be made to change the laws in the United States and abroad so that the laws will be consistent with the above beliefs.
