About Our Alliance

The Forced Adoption Post‑Apology Action Alliance is a survivor‑led, volunteer‑run initiative with no government funding or affiliation. What began as a small group has grown into a national network of survivors, families and supporters across Australia, united in the work of truth‑telling, accountability and reform.

Our Colour

Our fluorescent yellow is deliberate — the colour of a highlighter. It is not a design choice; it is a statement. It marks the parts of Australia’s forced‑adoption history the State would prefer to keep hidden.

Acknowledgement of Country and Solidarity

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land and pay deep respect to Elders past, present and emerging. The connection of First Nations peoples to Country, culture and community has endured every attempt to break it. It remains unbroken.

We also acknowledge the profound harm of the Stolen Generations. The parallels in our histories are clear. The same State systems that tore Aboriginal families apart were brought to bear on ours — the same laws, the same bureaucracy, the same disregard for family and truth.

We stand in solidarity not out of sentiment, but out of recognition. Recognition that these harms were acts of policy, not accidents. Recognition that truth and restoration are struggles we share. And recognition that the fight for justice is stronger when we stand together.
