Adoption Resource Center

AdoptionResourceCenter.org

AdoptionResourceCenter.org (ARC) is a non-commercial, non-profit, independent networking
clearinghouse of resources with no religious or political affiliations or agenda
for those concerned about or touched by adoption.

ARC exists to provide educational links to resources which:

- support the goals of family preservation and ethical adoption practice, and

- end corruption, coercion, deception, exploitation, profiteering and child trafficking for adoption

Ethical adoption in brief:

  • puts the best interests of children above all adults, demand, and receipt of fees.
  • takes place only after all efforts are made to locate family members and they are provided any and all resources needed to remain safely intact.
  • is free of all coercion, pressure or exploitation of poverty, age, illiteracy, language or adoption permanency concept misunderstanding.
  • does not falsify original birth information but leaves the adoptees legacy and heritage intact, and
  • allows for enforced ongoing contact.
Full defintion of Ethical Adoption coming soon.

Volunteers needed to create book lists.

Job description: Create criteria for books to be listed, and then create a bibliography of books in three or four major categories and can have separate volunteers for each category: books for/by/about adoptees; for/by/about original parents; for/by/about adoptive parents and general adoption books.

ARC: the NOT DOT COM!

Resources supporting the goals of family preservation and ethical adoption

Currently, the word "adoption" yields far too many commercial sites and the word “birthmother” (even birthmother support) yields businesses marketing to meet a demand, touting adoption and offering incentives.

ARC accepts no advertising, donations, links or listings from individuals or business that place children for adoption or support such businesses. Avoidance of such advertisers or listing helps us provide the most honest, impartial information free of any commercial influence.

The only acceptable ads will be from approved and listed organizations, books, videos and films, etc. that support the goals of this website: family preservaiton and ethical adoption.

Sites and links will be peer reviewed as to appropriateness and fitness with the goal of the site. Contact us to volunteer to be on the Peer Review Committee, which will set criteria and make selections.

Who Benefits From ARC?

  • All non-profit adoption reformers who want to drive traffic to their websites, blogs. articles, etc...
  • All who utilize the site for personl edification or research

Please Spread the Word!
