Ethica Mississippi is a forum where people interested in ethical adoption for the State of Mississippi can work together for common goals, gather information about current adoption issues, and volunteer for Ethica.

Ethica Mississippi is open to all. Members are welcome to create calls to action among list members, but no one from this list may speak for Ethica unless you have been given explicit permission by Ethica to do so.

Ethica Mississippi is sponsored by Ethica. Ethica is a nonprofit corporation that seeks to be an impartial voice for ethical adoption practices worldwide, and provides education, assistance, and advocacy to the adoption and foster care communities. In order to maintain an impartial voice:

- Ethica does not accept donations from adoption agencies or other entities that place children for adoption.
- Ethica's staff, volunteers, and Board of Directors consist of persons who have an interest in ethical adoption practices, but are not currently affiliated with agencies or other entities that place children for adoption.
- Ethica's work is based solely on the basic ethical principles underlying best practices in adoption and the best interests of children.
