2nd Annual Gathering for Adoptees and Foster Care Alumni of African Descent:

Growing and Organizing Together: Creating Our Own Identities

Announcing the 2nd annual gathering of adoptees (transracial/international and same race) and foster care alums of African descent in Oakland, California, November 6-8, 2009.

AFAAD (Adopted and Fostered Adults of the African Diaspora) was formed specifically to support adopted and fostered people, to share our common and divergent experiences around race, adoption, joy, loss, family, search and reunion, and self identity and to celebrate our unique creativity, stories and community.

The purpose of this historic gathering will be to make connections, network, provide healing space, and to celebrate the diversity of our amazing diaspora of transracial, international, domestic adoptees and foster care alums. AFAAD uses “Black” in the widest diasporic sense, which includes African, African American, bi-racial and multi heritage, Afroasian and Afrolatino peoples.

We will also take some time for the strategic planning for the long-term goals of AFAAD as a social justice and community support organization.

Who can Register:

Adoptees and Foster Care Alumni of African descent 18 years and older.

Please look for "Public Event registration" for all others who wish to participate and support.
