Our Mission
To Connect, support, and celebrate adoptive families in Hong Kong and to help educate the greater community about adoption.
Who we are
Adoptive Families of Hong Kong (AFHK) is a non-profit, all-volunteer, parent-run organization supporting adopting parents, adopted children, and others whose lives have been touched by adoption.
We are comprised of member families and are dependent on membership fees and other donations for our ongoing activities.
AFHK holds educational and family-oriented social events, including:
- an adoption speaker series
- monthly adoptive parent support meetings
- an adoption-themed film series
- summer picnic and pool party
- dim sum lunches, and
- our annual December holiday party.
We host an Annual General Meeting and Dinner each November. Recent speakers have included:
- Marjory Vendramini, Founder and President, Cradle of Hope and Fountain of Hope, Macau (Nov. 4, 2010)
- Hong Kong jockey and adoptee Matthew Chadwick, who was awarded the AFHK Role Model Award in 2009; and author, humorist and adoptive dad Nury Vittachi (Nov. 19, 2009)
- Adam Pertman, Excecutive Director of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, New York City, USA (Nov. 5, 2008)
We are also a sponsoring partner of the Hong Kong Adoption Festival, a series of adoption education and awareness events sponsored by Mother's Choice each November.
