Our Mission

The Roots of Love (ROL) is a volunteer-based initiative of adoptees and adoptive parents dedicated to helping Chinese adoptees who want to find their biological parents. It is based on the global humanitarian desire to reunite families that have been separated, due to a variety of personal and collective circumstances.

We believe that adoptees have the fundamental right to know their own unique ancestral roots, and thus, possibly, replace the unknown of their birth by a family lineage.

We realize that not all reunions will give adoptees the answers of their dreams, but it will often give them their truth.

Our mission is to contribute, one reconnected adoptee at a time, to growth and better understanding, as well as a stronger sense of identity.

Our Goals

• To help adoptees from China connect with the birth families they are searching for, and thus resolve their longing to discover their own origins and secure a richer personal identity.

• To inspire an increased desire for family reunification between China and abroad.

• To create new and richer avenues of communication advocating on behalf of adoptees.

• To research and document successful cases of adoptee reunion, and to share them in various media, for the benefit of all.

• To inspire scientists to create and protect the methodology of DNA matching between humans, as applied to the adoptee’s situation.

We organize group searches using professional searchers and local volunteers.
