About New Roots

Welcome to New Roots!

New Roots is a non-profit membership organization that provides support, education and encouragement for families with adopted children, those in the process of adopting, and those considering adoption. Established in 1983, New Roots consists of about 150 member families in the Central Ohio area.
Each year, many of us look to adoption as a means of building our families. Whether adopting internationally or domestically, each adoption presents a special set of circumstances and unexpected situations. Sharing information with other adoptive families helps make the adoption process a positive experience. Anyone with an interest in adoption is welcome.
New Roots' objectives:

To provide information related to adoption;
To provide active support to families throughout the adoption process;
To provide opportunities for children of transcultural families to meet and interact;
To support effective adoption legislation;
To provide material, medical, and financial assistance to children and orphanages here and in other countries.

New Roots provides current information on domestic and international adoptions; listings of agencies, support groups and sources of information; and social opportunities for adoptive families. New Roots also maintains an open forum discussion through the New Roots e-mail listserv at Yahoo Groups.
New Roots is a non-profit, volunteer organization supported by members' dues, donations, and fundraising efforts.
New Roots is a member of the North American Council on Adoptable Children.
