About Our Organization

VOICES, a Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Adoptee Community (aka BIPOC Adoptees), is a grassroots organization dedicated to creating safe, inclusive spaces for BIPOC adoptees, addressing their unique needs through community-building initiatives. Our organization's structure is committed to horizontal leadership and trauma-informed practices. Coalition building is at the heart of our work, demonstrated through partnerships with BIPOC Adoptee professionals and organizations to bridge gaps and expand our collective movement. We center and empower BIPOC adoptee voices, aiming to change the narrative around adoption. We offer culturally affirming spaces that promote connection and well-being, filling the void left by traditional adoptee networks.

Our BIPOC adoptee-only events are open to adoptees who are 18 years and older and identify as:

BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) adoptees
BIPOC descendants of adoptees
BIPOC former or current foster youth in the child welfare system, adopted, or living with a legal guardian

As a non-transactional organization, our events are always free to our community. Grounded in our lived experiences as BIPOC adoptees, we maintain a trauma-informed, multi-marginalized focus that bridges the gap for both domestic and international BIPOC adoptees, including adoptees through kinship, same race, and those adoptees who have been part of the child welfare system - creating spaces that honor the complexities of our shared identities.
