The Filipino Adoptees Network Listserv

"Ang hindi marunong tumingin sa pinanggalingan ay di makakarating sa paroroonan"
He who does not look back to his origins, will never get to his destination
-Filipino Proverb

The Filipino Adoptees Network (FAN) cyber community was conceptualized by two Filipinas because of the lack of supportive websites for adoptees.

Lorial Crowder and Sharon Cuartero were recently reunited after a decade of having no communication and by happenstance both wanted to develop a website for fellow adoptees from the Philippines - to speak out and share our experiences, network with other adoptees, and provide a one stop resource portal to learn about the rich culture of the Philippines and Filipino communities in the United States and elsewhere.
