For families worldwide who are researching Thai adoption, who are in the process of adopting from Thailand, or who have already adopted from Thailand. Older Thai adoptees also welcome!

This group also allows membership by agency personnel working in Thai adoption, orphanage volunteers and foster parents in Thailand, and people in Thailand offering services to adoptive families. (Anyone selling adoption-related products or services should consult the "files" area for our policy on commercial messages). Please preserve the confidential information of children whom you have applied to adopt (but not yet adopted) by not disclosing their Thai names or other identifying information.

Families in the very preliminary stages of research should refer to the Thai Adoption Home Page at http://www.neiu.edu/~rghiggin/Thaiadopt/start.html before requesting membership in the thailandadopt listserv. The Home Page provides extensive current program and timeline information.

Families who have already sent a dossier to Thailand, who have put a specific waiting child on hold in Thailand, or who have already adopted a Thai child, are also invited to join our sister group, post-adopt-thailand, focusing on post-adoption issues. Adult Thai adoptees also welcome. See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/post-adopt-thailand/

Good behavior is expected and required of all members. References to God/spirituality (ONLY as related to adoption/adoptive families) are allowed, but the subject line of the message must notify subscribers of the religious content.
