What are the benefits of membership?
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
