Description:
The Filipino Adoptees Network (FAN) cyber community was conceptualized by two Filipinas because of the lack of supportive websites for adoptees.

Lorial Crowder and Sharon Cuartero were recently reunited after a decade of having no communication and by happenstance both wanted to develop a website for fellow adoptees from the Philippines - to speak out and share our experiences, network with other adoptees and provide a one stop resource portal to learn about the rich culture of the Philippines and Filipino communities in the United States and elsewhere.

It is our hope that the FAN website will provide the online community that was not available to us as we were growing up and to be a support network to adoptees as they venture to cope, understand, share and celebrate their adoption.

FAN will be making its official debut in January 2005. Please join us!
