    Check out and take home a piece of (mostly) Australian adoptee literature. Jane has a diverse collection of Adoptee memoir and related works of truth telling.

  • Rename the Beryl Grant Community Centre (Albany)

    Owned by Juniper Aged Care, the BGCC is named after one of WA's most prolific facilitators of forced adoption. Pls sign our petition requesting the name change.

  • 2024 WA Inquiry

    It took 2 years of lobbying the WA Labor Government!

    Our Chair, Jen McRae was the lead advocate and principal petitioner for the WA inquiry into forced adoption. Read the report hereā€¦

  • Advocacy with decision makers

    We have developed healthy networks with West Australian parliamentarians from across the political divide.

    We welcome respectful dialogue with anyone who would like to learn more about the lifelong impacts forced adoption has had on adopted people.

  • Project Funding

    We've got some big ideas that need funding. Maybe you are keen to help and be part of our change making ?

  • Australian Digital Museum of Adoption

    Digital collection of historical objects, documents, paraphrenalia, quotes, newspaper clippings and more.

    Email GSASG with a photo and description of your artefact for inclusion in the museum

  • We need you. Start your own support group!

    We can help support your quest to set up a support group in your community. It's easier than you may think!

Adoption has impacted the lives of more than 250,000 Australians

Many adopted people are without a peer support network and we are here to change that.
