About Us
Welcome to the
ICARN website.
You may be
interested in this website for a number of reasons, but if it is because
you are thinking of intercountry adoption as a way of establishing your
family, then you have come to the right place.
Through us you will
have a great opportunity to meet like minded individuals and families who
have already successfully gone down the intercountry adoption path and we
welcome the opportunity to share our experiences and support you through
your journey.
Who are we?
ICARN (Intercountry
Adoption Resource Network) Australia is a thriving parent support group
that offers advice, support and a range of educational and social
activities for those already involved in intercountry adoption and for
those who are thinking of adopting from an overseas country.
Formed over 16
years ago by a small number of adoptive parents ICARN has grown to nearly
200 members/families in Victoria with another 100 associates worldwide.
For those
considering intercountry adoption ICARN offers opportunities to learn
first hand from those who have experienced the process and to learn of
the emotions and the challenges involved in adopting a child born in an
overseas country.
For those already
on the adoption journey, ICARN offers this plus support and advocacy and
a range of educational tools.
Once families and
children are members, ICARN offers many opportunities for interaction
with other intercountry adoptive families and for contact between children
of the same culture and other cultural backgrounds. This gives ICARN its
rich and diverse cultural mix.
