Become a member of the largest national organization of adoptive parents, birth parents, adopted people, adoption professionals and friends devoted to better understanding of and support for adopted children of color.
Pact is a membership organization offering lifelong support to all triad members in families of color touched by adoption. Our primary client is the child. In order to serve the child, we address the needs of all of the child's parents, by advising families facing a crisis pregnancy and by offering lifelong education to adoptive families and birth families on matters of race and adoption. Our goal is for every child to feel wanted, honored and loved, a cherished member of a strong family with proud connections to the rich cultural heritage that is his or her birthright.
