AACASA'S aims
.
AACASA's aims are:
- To encourage and
support Australian families in adopting African children for whom authorities
in their countries of birth consider overseas adoption the most appropriate
choice of care.
- To provide information advice and support for families who have adopted from African countries.
.
- To support and encourage proper inter-country adoption practices in
accordance with The Hague Convention on Inter-country Adoption.
- To support
African children and the maintenance of their culture within their Australian
community.
- To provide aid
and support to African children in need as well as for those awaiting
adoption.
- To promote
understanding and support for inter-country adoption within the Australian
community. AACASA works in co-operation with the State/Territory adoption
units and other non-government organisations to achieve these
aims.
