Where We Stand

At the heart of what we do are three interconnected issues: identity, U.S. citizenship, and equality for all adoptees. We regularly issue position statements on issues affecting adopted people in the United States.

Read our positions on original birth records, U.S. citizenship for intercountry adoptees, and identity documents.

Birth Records • US Citizenship • Identity Documents

It goes on one at a time,
it starts when you care
to act, it starts when you do
it again and they said no,
it starts when you say We
and know who you mean, and each
day you mean one more.
