Chinese Adoptee Alliance is a nonprofit organization supporting Chinese adoptees and allies. CAA was formerly FCCNY, which was founded in the early 1990s in Manhattan as a parent support group. It expanded to a nation-wide network, and our members include Chinese adoptees, their families and friends, as well as allies of our organization. CAA is now an adoptee-centered organization that serves the greater Chinese adoptee community and the global community of adoptees and allies.

As of June 30, 2022, eight adoptive parent board members rotated off the Board of Directors to make way for Chinese adoptee board members and allow for the board to be managed primarily by Chinese adoptees. This new board’s efforts will be directed by and centered around adoptees. While this transition will bring an adoptee-centered approach to the fore, we will have continued involvement of interested adoptive parents, and we will also develop some programs that include or are tailored for adoptive parents, families, and supporting communities.
