One of the main aims of AVI is to create opportunities and forums for Vietnamese adoptees connect with each other and share community knowledge, resources and support. AVI have two social network groups with over 280 members. Many of the AVI members are a part of both groups which aim to be informative but also friendly and casual.
The AVI Facebook Group & the AVI Facebook ‘Like’ Page is the best & most convenient way to get all the latest AVI & adoption news while connecting with other VN Adoptees. The AVI Facebook (FB) Group & FB Page is updated much more regularly than the Yahoo! Group with current adoption news & events.
The AVI Facebook Group is a members only group. Some messages are only sent to the group as ‘FB messages’ rather than on the wall, as they may be more focused on specific issues such as searching for birth relatives info.
The AVI Facebook Page is viewable to the public and where we will post most recent news and links of interest (events, films, books and much more). Please ‘like’ us on the left in the side bar to keep updated and your support is much appreciated.
The AVI Yahoo! Group is a members only e-group (mailing list & forum) where people who want share their experiences & connect with other VN adoptees, especially for those who are FB shy or prefer the mailing list/forum format. While general news is posted less frequently then on the FB group, the AVI Yahoo! Group allows people to write more which makes it the perfect platform for sharing more in depth stories, news, experiences & ideas.
New members are encouraged to introduce themselves and their interests to the group. Membership is open to anyone interested in adopted Vietnamese war orphans (this includes adoptees, adoptive parents, birth parents and other interested parties).
