Adoption Travel

Project Kindness by World Ties

Traveling to your child’s country of birth as a family will be one of the most profound, bonding, identity building, FUN opportunities in your family’s life experience of adoption.  

Request information today!

Traditional Ties Programs, our flagship programs, are staffed by an English speaking in-country guide, an adoption professional, and a group leader who creates community, builds bridges and deals with details enabling you to focus on your family and the profound meaning of the journey. All Ties programs include our signature "Connect & Chat" for kids and “Talk Times” for parents.

New! Connections programs are less expensive options, providing a well rounded in-country experience, and are staffed by an in-country English speaking guide (except in Korea where a Ties group leader is also with the group.) "Connect & Chat", and "Parent Talk Time" are not offered as part of Connections.

Private or Semi-Private Travel While we believe strongly in the support a group provides, we know there are times when individual family travel is a better fit. We are happy to work with individual families or small groups of families.

Traveling to pick up your new family addition?  We’ve been privileged to work with adoptive families for almost two decades as thousands of little ones have arrived home. Ask us about sending you a Pre-adoption Information Fact Sheet, and we’ll get started helping you make smooth, easy travel plans.

Project Kindness: Via our sister organization, World Ties, a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, we are dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and families.  Our mission is to identify humanitarian needs, and provide charitable donations to orphanages and child care facilities visited by The Ties Program. 

Adoptive family heritage tours are available to Bulgaria, Cambodia, China, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, India, Kazakhstan, Korea, Peru, Paraguay, The Philippines, Russia, Romania and Vietnam.  Programs opening in Ethiopia and Ukraine.  Other programs will open based on interest from families.
