Who we are
Welcome and thank you for your interest in ASIAC.

The process of adopting is a challenging and interesting one. There are times when there is a need for someone to talk to, to share anxieties with, to discuss frustrations and have an understanding ear to help with the adoption process, to support you during the waiting time, to share the joy of an allocation and to guide you as a family on your adoption journey.

ASIAC is the largest parent support group in NSW, Australia representing families that have adopted or are in the process of adopting from China, Korea, The Philippines, Taiwan. Thailand, India and Hong Kong.

ASIAC, which has been helping adoptive families for over 30 years, is run by current and prospective adoptive families.

Our philosophy is that every child, regardless of colour, race or creed, has the best chance to develop to his or her full potential within a family.

ASIAC supports adoption for children in need of families, and is committed to developing community awareness of overseas adoption.

We aim to:

• encourage and facilitate intercountry adoption
• support, guide and educate its members during all stages of the adoption journey
• advocate for and support children in need in overseas countries through education and funding projects.

ASIAC is not an adoption agency. Overseas adoption in NSW can only be organised through the NSW Department of Community Services.
