Also-Known-As, Southern California

The Association of Korean Adoptees (AKA) is a Southern California-based organization whose umbrella covers Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. Established in 1994, AKA is a non-profit, independent and secular group of adult Korean-born transracial adoptees and their associates.

Asian Adult Adoptees of British Columbia

Asian Adult Adoptees of British Columbia is Western Canada’s first adult adoptee organization. We are dedicated to building a community for Asian adult adoptees in British Columbia. In this community we are committed to providing a forum for discussing topics and current events related to adoption, educating each other as well as future generations of adoptees, and participating in local cultural events. In building this community, we hope to create an environment where adoptees can meet, learn from one another, and have fun with others who share in this common experience.

Korean Adoptees of Chicago (KAtCH)

KAtCH was built to support, lead, and develop the adult Korean adoptee community in Chicago. In addition to this focus, we are also passionate about building bridges between families and parents of adoptees, the Korean American community in Chicago, and the international Korean adoptee community.

Nebraska Korean Adoptees

The focus of this group is to bring together Korean adoptees in the Nebraska area. We have found that one of the best resources for Korean adoptees is to spend time with other adoptees. Many Korean adoptees can feel isolated at times. We hope this group helps eliminate those feelings. At the moment, this group will be purely social. We will have monthly dinners, discussions, events, etc… to bring together the many adult adoptees in the Nebraska area. Once we get a core group established, we will look to get affiliated with other adoptee groups, camps, mentoring programs, parent panel discussions, etc.

TAAAG (Texas Asian Adult Adoptee Group) is a group for Asian adult adoptees ages 21 and up in the Dallas-Ft. Worth and surrounding areas. It is our mission to connect with other adult Asian adoptees and to educate current adoptive families through sharing our experiences about growing up in a transracial home. We have monthly events that include dinners and happy hours.

Vietnamese Adoptee Network

The Vietnamese Adoptee Network (VAN) seeks to maximize the Vietnamese adoptee experience in a caring, supportive environment by networking them to other Vietnamese adoptees and community resources.
