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 existing intercountry adoptees are not isolated or ignored, but supported by community, government, organisations and family throughout their entire adoption journey.

A world in the future, where intercountry adoption is rarely necessary.
