One of the unique features about Dillon International has always been our commitment to adoptees and their families long after the adoption has been finalized.  We believe that having an understanding of his/her birth heritage beginning with childhood helps an adoptee to succeed in life by giving him/her a positive appreciation for his/her dual heritage.  Dillon International has built a solid reputation in the international adoption community on providing top-quality post-adoption services for adoptees and their families. 

We encourage each adoptive family to take advantage of these various opportunities for learning, growth, and enrichment  in order to enhance their family's  overall international adoption experience.

Adult Adoptee Groups

Encompassed within its on-going commitment to adoptees, Dillon International encourages adult adoptees to seek each other out for encouragement and support.  Many Dillon adult adoptees have connected with other adoptees through Dillon's online forum and in their metropolitan area. Currently, there are adult adoptee groups in the Dallas area and in Northeast Oklahoma.  If you would like to join one of these groups or would be interested in starting your own group in your area, please contact them for more information.

Adoptees for Children - their mission is to promote permanence whether overseas or domestic -- to do what is in the best interest of children worldwide.
