Canada’s Network & Online Community of Asian Adoptees
Across our vast nation—from coast to coast—we’re here for you.
Whether online or in-person, we're a community of adoptees to connect with, answer questions, and share diverse perspectives.
Committed to connecting, supporting, and empowering the Asian adoptee community in Canada
Asian Adoptees of Canada is a national Canadian registered non-profit organization, established for the purpose of connecting and supporting Canada’s Asian adoptee community. While this current iteration of AAC was officially founded in early 2021, its initial inception was in 2007 as the Asian Adult Adoptees of BC ("Triple ABC"). AAC is proud to be managed by a team of Canadian Asian adoptees and is excited to develop new services to connect, support and empower the Asian adoptee community.
