Cambodia Adoption Connection

 


2355 Cambodian children were adopted by families in the United States between 1999 and 2006.  (The bulk of these adoptions took place between 1999-2002, with about 200 adoptions later processed as “pipeline” cases after the U.S. suspension of adoptions from Cambodia.)*
    Though the Cambodian adoption community is relatively small, the bond many of our families share is a strong one.  Cambodia Adoption Connection seeks to be a place where members of our community can find support and information, and yes, connection. 

    In the coming months as Cambodia works to put a system in place that will re-open the doors to international adoptions, we also hope to educate prospective adoptive families.  The decision to adopt a child is a life-altering one, not just for you, but for your future child.  We hope you will find here information that empowers you to enter the adoption process informed and prepared to make choices that truly represent the best interests of your future child.
