ADOPTIVE FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN OF AFRICAN HERITAGE, AND THEIR FRIENDS IN NEW YORK (AFCAF/NY)

A support group for NYC adoptive families with predominantly white parents and children adopted from the African American community, Africa, and the African diaspora outside the US. Main consideration is that for the full development of the identity of our children, family life is not enough, and our children have to become part of the black community as well. We seek the help of friends, black friends (adopted or not), and black organizations. We are organizing regular educational meetings for parents and children and social gatherings with a focus on black culture.
