By becoming a member, you join an organization that builds and sustains a nurturing, enriching and empowering community for children, youth and families.  Children and youth benefit tremendously from growing up with adopted peers and being a part of a supportive “village” of friends and extended “family.”  Parents and parents-to-be learn from one another and share the lifelong adoption journey through programs, services, resources and activities.  The FCC-SoCal community is our safety net and the primary facilitator of China adoptive family connections in Southern California.

Additional benefits include:

• Membership Directory (provided only to adoptive and waiting families)
• Subscription to FCC publications (newsletters special editions) and members-only email network
• Priority invitations and discounted registration for cultural events, such as the Chinese New Year banquets and Heritage Festival
• Members-only entrée to special cultural exchanges and community collaborations, and special FCC programs (e.g., UCLA mentoring program, Full Moon Campout).
• Parent, child and youth peer groups; adoptive parenting education; special needs/learning differences support; mentoring and leadership training

Do you need to inform FCC-SoCal to changes to your personal for family information? Do you have a new email address or home address?

Here is a direct link to online membership form which can be used to inform us of any updates to your information. Your name and email address are required fields in that form. Aside from that, just provide the information that needs to be updated and we'll make the changes to your member record in our database.

FCC-SoCal currently offers annual memberships, beginning at $30/single parent families and $40/two-parent families.  Families are invited to donate at higher levels as they are able.  FCC no longer offers Lifetime or 8-year memberships.

Full information about joining and renewing membership can be found on our annual membership page here. From that page you can click through to pay for a new membership, or to renew your membership, using the PayPal "Donate" button. Then once your payment is submitted, you will be returned to the FCC-SoCal online registration form to submit contact and family information for our records. (Renewing members need only submit information that has changed from the previous year.)

Although online registration is preferred, offline registration is also an option. Click here for the printable membership form. The form lists membership levels and pricing. Fill out the form and mail it in with a check to:
