With the Holiday Season upon us, our thoughts turn to family festivities and togetherness. We, at Origins-USA, are reminded of our mission to promote natural family preservation and advocate for family members separated by adoption and thank you for your membership support to help us meet that gaol.

This Holiday Season highlights a significant milestone for Origins-USA. It is our first year as an incorporated not-for-profit organization. With your tax-deductible donation, Origins-USA can continue to promote our vision for every mother to receive the support she needs to raise her own children and as a last resort, place her children in kinship care or permanent legal guardianship, protecting their right to know their origins.

As a grassroots organization, Origins-USA relies on people around the country to contribute time, energy, and money to work for natural family preservation and justice for people separated by adoption. Make a difference, help promote the goals to provide support for families separated by adoption; to provide public awareness of injustice; and to promote legislative, social, and administrative reforms for families in crisis and for those already separated by adoption.

Support something that you believe in and become a member of Origins-USA or make a donation at www.origins-usa.org. The time is now and the tide is turning. More and more information about the rights and issues of parents and children separated by adoption are in the news, on television documentaries, and other media forms. Let's make sure the right message, the truth, is promoted. Support Origins-USA and we'll support you. You can make a difference, and make a donation this Holiday Season to support family togetherness and Origins-USA and by asking friends and family to do the same.

Making a donation is easy!

Happy Holidays!
