MISSION
To educate, support, connect, collaborate, galvanise and give voice to intercountry adoptees from around the world.
ICAV achieves this through:
- Providing a safe supportive forum for adoptees to form their views and opinions while they grow through out their lifelong adoption journey.
- Encouraging intercountry adoptees and intercountry adoptee-led groups to speak out and push for the rights of intercountry adoptees and original families.
- Raising awareness in the community of the complexities involved in intercountry adoption on both the micro and macro levels.
- Speaking out about the negative effects of intercountry adoption especially those of trafficking, rehoming, deportation / citizenship and abuse.
VISION
A world where intercountry adoptees are not isolated but supported by community, government, organisations and family throughout their entire adoption journey.
