WELCOME! - OUR MAIN GOAL
A Global Network for ADOPTED, HAPA, & FOSTERED
PEOPLE & FRIENDS Worldwide.
WHO WE ARE
We are Adopted, Fostered, & Hapa individuals of all ages from
Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, & across the globe.
Some of us do NOT always feel "Chinese," even if our
birthmothers happened to be in Asia when we were born.
Some of us feel Jewish, British, Canadian, Spanish, Southern
Californian, proud New Yawkers! or a mix of things.
Some of us feel very Chinese, and maybe we speak Chinese
quite well. Some of us may NOT speak Chinese at all.
From Adopted & Fostered Adults of the African Diaspora to the
Transnational & Transracial Adoption Group to our big sister
organization The Mothers' Bridge of Love of the United Kingdom
to Also-Known-As in NYC, we are proud sisters and brothers of
Adopted, Fostered, and Hapa individuals around the world.
All of us are human beings with hopes and dreams.
YOUR VOICE MATTERS
CAL honors the diversity of our experiences, the richness of
our identities, and the importance of our stories. Thank you for
making CAL a community of care, compassion, & courageous
change.
