One of the unique features about Dillon
International has always been our commitment to adoptees and their families long
after the adoption has been finalized. We believe that
having an understanding of his/her birth heritage
beginning with childhood helps an adoptee to succeed in life by
giving him/her a positive appreciation for his/her dual heritage.
Dillon International has built a solid reputation in the
international adoption community on providing top-quality
post-adoption services for adoptees and their families.
We
encourage each adoptive family to take advantage of these
various opportunities for learning, growth, and enrichment
in order to enhance their family's overall international
adoption experience.

Adult Adoptee Groups
Encompassed within its on-going commitment to adoptees, Dillon
International encourages adult adoptees to seek each other out
for encouragement and support. Many Dillon adult adoptees have
connected with other adoptees through Dillon's online forum and
in their metropolitan area. Currently, there are adult adoptee
groups in the Dallas area and in Northeast Oklahoma. If you
would like to join one of these groups or would be interested in
starting your own group in your area, please contact them for
more information.
