We serve you. Here's how.
There are wonderful people doing good work in the adoption support world. But the resources are scattered, underfunded, and hard to find. We exist to change that — by funding directly, centralizing what's available, and creating tools that actually meet you where you are.
Grants for Adoptees
Removing the financial barrier to your own story.
We provide direct grants to intercountry adoptees for:
Homeland Travel — The financial support to return to your birth country for connection, healing, and identity exploration. Where you come from is a right, not a luxury.
Therapy & Counseling — Funding for specialized, culturally competent mental health support tailored to the adoptee experience. Your healing shouldn't have a price tag.
Real money. Real people. Real impact.
Grant applications coming soon
Decoding
Making the complex human again.
There is more research, policy, data, and guidance on the intercountry adoption experience than most people realize. The problem? It's buried in academic journals, government documents, and dense policy papers that nobody has time to read.
We do.
The Ties Foundation translates what the experts are saying into language that actually reaches you — clear, honest, and written for the people it's about. We decode the dense so you don't have to.
What that looks like in practice:
Research translated into plain language
Policy changes explained in plain terms
Data on the adoptee experience made accessible and meaningful
Guidance for navigating systems, rights, and decisions
You're smart. You're capable. You just have a life to live. We've got the decoding covered.
New decoded content published regularly
Community
You are not navigating this alone.
The adoptee experience can be profoundly isolating — even when you're surrounded by people who love you. Sometimes what you need most is someone who simply gets it.
We're building that — a community of fellow travelers. People who understand this particular road because they've walked it themselves. Spaces where you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning.
This is not a support group. It's a home base.
Community spaces coming soon
