Connecting adopted adults
through community outreach
and education.
Because we believe that adoption is a lifelong journey, RCAA is committed to serving as a resource to the adopted person and the community.
Are you an adopted adult? Are you a leader? Do you live in Minnesota? Want to get involved? Want to build your network of adopted adults? Become a member of the Resource Committee of Adopted Adults.
The Resource Committee of Adopted Adults is the first national group of adult adopted persons from several different adoptee communities. Comprised of member volunteers, the RCAA works in partnership with Children’s Home Society & Family Services to provide education and leadership, and serves as a resource to help guide adoption policies and services.
