First Coast Families with Children from China is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization as designated by the Internal Revenue code.  All of our activities are organized and executed by our board of directors and member volunteers.

Our mission is:

• To encourage and support families who have adopted children from China or children of Chinese ethnicity and families who are preparing to adopt from China and any persons or groups of like interest
• To advocate for and support chldern remaining in orphanages in China. Support shall include charitable giving in kind or cash.
• To provide information that fosters understanding, respect, and appreciation of Chinese culture and heritage.
• To provide educational information on issues surrounding international adoption and parenting.
• To network and collaborate with other national and local adoptive family organizations and to establish links to the Chinese and Asian-American communities.
  

Our organization is made up of a board of directors and volunteers just like you.

We meet monthly to discuss the chapter's activities and events that help us meet our mission. If you are interested in becoming involved, please complete a membership form or contact firstcoastfcc-owner@yahoogroups.com.
