WELCOME TO THE TIES PROGRAM

Helping children see that the people with whom they share their heritage are warm, wonderful, genuine people.

The Ties Program is the longest standing and most comprehensive adoptive family homeland journey organization in the United States.  Traveling to your child’s country of birth as a family will be one of the most profound, bonding, identity building opportunities in your family’s life experience of adoption.   

For more than 15 years, we have specialized in customized international adoption journeys that are nurturing, child centered, "adoption aware" and fun! We are honored that thousands of families have explored the world with us.

We experience the culture and see the sites, but even more importantly, we:

  • Help families reconnect with significant people and places related to their adoption.
  • Offer optional  "Connect & Chat" for the kids and “Talk Times” for the adults throughout our programs—done by a trained adoption social worker or adoption professional.
  • Give children a sense of belonging as they experience their birth country with other adoptive children.
  • Provide a foundation for understanding cultural issues related to adoption.
  • Offer humanitarian aid options via our sister organization World Ties.
