About Us

Teaching Competency

Building Legacy

Creating Community

At Adoption Mosaic we believe that we all deserve a healthy lifelong adoption experience regardless of our position in the adoption constellation or the resources we have. We provide spaces where the adoption constellation/community feels valued, heard, understood and accepted as a full member of society, their family, and community. 

  • The Adoption Mosaic mission is to teach adoption competency, build family legacy, and create community through our services.

  • Adoption Mosaic’s vision is to build an inviting adoption conscious community by providing innovative adoptee-centered programs and support services.

  • Adoption Mosaic is not an adoption agency. We do not facilitate adoptions.

    We serve all members of the adoption constellation.

    We are committed to working collaboratively with individuals, families, organizations, and agencies to build adoption competency.

    We are dedicated to finding creative and new ways to support the adoption community.

    Adoption Mosaic’s hope is that by opening dialogue we can usher in a new future for adoption that includes radical empathy for all members of the adoption constellation.
