Welcome to the Military Adoption Support Group!

Our group is made up of members residing across the USA, as well as stationed worldwide. We are a community of families serving in all Armed-Services Branches in various stages of our adoption journeys. Military families, DoD civilians and other SOFA sponsored personnel are welcomed to join.

We recognize the unique challenges adoption brings to service members and their families and have created this group as a service to offer encouragement, support and assistance to others. Many group members are first-time parents. Some have been raising children for over 25 years. Many of our members have adopted children with congenital birth defects, developmental delays, and older children, which bring on special challenges living within our military community and getting health care through our military medical care. The owner of this group has adopted 5 children and often posts waiting children in foreign orphanages from a Christian adoption agency that are in immediate need for families.

* Group FILES have military Adoption Reimbursement,Memo on Miltary Adoption Leave, Tricare/DEERS enrollment and JAG information for the military family adopting.
