Your child begins to ask questions. While AARA can not answer such questions for you, we offer a resource of information about your child's heritage and history. AARA is committed to develop a database that will include information that will help families to build relationships. For example, the database might be useful for contacting those who may have been adopted from the same orphanage or for locating a sibling placed with another family or finding childhood friends from the DetskiDom. AARA is a membership organization.
Membership is completely voluntary.
Information placed on the database will only be that which the adoptive parents are willing to share. The key benefit of AARA membership is that members will receive on request a list of names, telephone numbers, addresses and email addresses of others who can be contacted to share their adoptive and family experiences. Information maintained by AARA will not be used for any commercial endeavor. Adopted children will have a valuable resource in AARA to turn to as they become older and develop the desire to explore their cultural heritage. AARA can be their partner in finding links to long-lost friends or in learning about those who share a common history but did not know about it.
