About Us |
|
Families with Children from China (Australia) Inc is the only national parent group that acts solely for families who have adopted or are in the process of adopting children of Chinese ethnicity. A Bilateral Agreement on Intercountry Adoption between the People's Republic of China and Australia was signed in 1999. Since the first babies came home from China in September 2000, over 600 children have joined Australian families and this number will continue to rise steadily over the coming years. Our children enjoy a common cultural heritage and our group strives to keep our children connected to the countries of their birth and to each other. As parents, we also draw great strength from the friendships with like-minded people who share our adoption experiences. FCC Australia was formed and incorporated early in 2004 to address the needs of children from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan in a supportive, friendly and family-oriented manner. FCC-Australia is a non-denominational association of families who have adopted children of Chinese ethnicity. We have a dedicated internet support group for pre and post adoption, weekly playgroups in the larger states, regular family get-togethers and an annual cultural gathering. Many of our families meet informally through the year in smaller groups in each state. The association's three key goals are: a) to support families who have adopted children of Chinese ethnicity through post-adoption and Chinese culture programs. b) to encourage adoption of children of Chinese ethnicity and support waiting families. c) to advocate for and support children remaining in orphanages in China. |
