"PACER's purpose is to foster a better understanding of adoption as a lifelong process and intergenerational journey, and to serve all members of the adoption triad (adoptees, birthparents and adoptive parents) by providing comprehensive information and ongoing emotional support. PACER encourages truth and openness among all participants in the adoption process. We also recognize and honor diverse opinions among our membership and readers, while advocating for the human rights of all those affected by adoption."
