Pact serves adopted children of color by providing not only adoptive placement but also lifelong education, support, and community for adoptees and their families on matters of adoption and race.
Pact Camp - Pact Family Camp is a five-day immersive experience for families with adopted or fostered children of color, as well as non-adopted siblings, extended family members, first/birth parents and siblings, and adult adoptees and foster alums, with a focus on 4 areas of equity: Expanding 1st/birth parents Supporting both white transracial adopters and POC-headed families Increasing socio-economic diversity Ensuring that we bring new children and their families to camp yearly. o Racial Demographics of Youth at Camp: 72% African American, 12% Latino, 8% Asian, 1% Native American, 7% White (siblings) - racial demographics include biracial youtho Types of Families: 31% families with parents of color, 28% families with LGBTQ parents, 17% families with single parento Type of Adoption: 51% Domestic Private, 32% Foster Adoption, 17% International Adoption
Adoption Placement - Every day adoptive parents across the country acknowledge their adoption stories as a celebration of the children they adore. Pact models best practices and serves as a national thought leader. Ethical adoption practices start by providing women facing unplanned pregnancies with honest, balanced, compassionate counseling. Ethical, anti-racist adoption practices include seeking out and supporting adoptive parents who reflect the racial identity of children being adoptedadoptive and foster parents of color who have been historically neglected and under-served.In 2019 Pact completed our 2nd year as a licensed, full-service adoption agency in the State of California. Pact provides leadership in the design of child welfare practices that serve children of color.
Education and Support - Education is at the heart of Pacts mission, because educated individuals change lives and change the world. Pact delivers the child-centered, race-conscious, adoption-aware, honesty-based education that parents and professionals must have in order to meet the needs of adopted children of color. As the adoption marketplace grows, pre-adoptive families feel forced to take a consumer approach to adoption, which is antithetical to the child-welfare approach that should be at the core of adoption. The growth of our educational programs makes clear that Pact is filling a niche that is generally neglected in the adoption field nationally. We continue to offer 15-18 webinars a year and several family day conferences where adults and children join together to learn and talk about the complexity and joys of adoption.
