 Who
is Adoption Connections of Oregon (ACO)? We are adoptive
children, parents, siblings, grandparents and extended family
members. We include both adult adoptees and birthparents.
We are a resource for those considering adoption as a way to
build a family. We are families who have raised adopted children
and have insights to share with families of younger children. We
have adopted both domestically and internationally. We have
chosen both closed and open adoption.
We have a common interest in supporting one another, furthering
adoption education and honoring the varied cultural heritages
represented within our community.
As a volunteer-run group, we are dependent upon the energy and
vision of each other. Enrich your family’s adoption experience…
join us!
