POST strives to provide ethical, adoptee-created and centered adoption education and resources to the entire adoption constellation. As adoptees ourselves, we know the struggle adoptees face in regards to access to our own families, stories, and information.  No matter the agency or legal requirements, both Adoptive and Birth parents have not and are not ethically educated or trained concerning all aspects of adoptee-centered adoption placement.

 

At POST, we strive to provide adoptees and their families with the right tools to foster connection with birth families by educating the constellation through curating modern, adoptee-centered resources. We will always place the adoptee’s right to information at the forefront and create beautiful and meaningful ways for them to stay connected to their families, stories, and information. 

 

When adoption is the only option, we believe that connected families are strong families.   By providing our “no excuse” templates and thoughtfully crafted activities, we can help countless adoptees like us have a piece of themselves and their first family to hold onto for a lifetime.

Adoptees are not commodities

Our first Value: Adoptees are not commodities.

  • We believe that the commodification of Adoptees is not ethical. Each Adoptee is the owner of their own lived experiences and should be so at all times starting at birth.

    • All Adoptee stories we share are shared with consent via a legal agreement that will allow them to retract or modify their work at any time.

    • We will not post nor reshare content containing any identifying story, information, or imagery of Adoptee minors or minors in general.
       

  • We believe that both Birth and Adoptive Parents should not share their Adoptee’s story at any time.

    • Our company will not reshare posts we are tagged in that contain identifying information or imagery of an Adoptee minor.
       

  • We believe Adoptees should be paid for their work and sharing of their lived experiences. We commit to paying all Adoptees we collaborate with.
