Looking for Indian Adoptees
Hi,
We have just moved to East Bay from Brooklyn. I am a non-Indian adoptive mom of an Indian teen girl (age 14). We would love to connect with other families who have adopted from India, especially those with teen- or tween-age children. We had a lovely group called Mixed Masala back east through which we were able to connect to my daughter’s heritage, celebrate various holidays, and just shmooze. I’d love to find something like this out here!

Hi,
I'm the adoptive mom of 2 older teens, and one resource we've found invaluable if you don't know about it already is Pact (www.pactadopt.org). Their focus is adopted kids of color of all ages, in same-race and mixed-race families. Their office is in Emeryville and I know they have a tween/teen group. Another organization located on the peninsula is FAIR (fairfamilies.org) with a lot of adoption support. One of these groups might be able to point you in the way of specific Indian resources.
