Together on the Journey
Where Community Strengthens, Culture Grounds, Courage Stretches, Care Sustains

Since 2013, TRJ has provided transracially adopted children and their families a home where identity, race, and culture are openly explored and celebrated.

Roots in Community: TRJ Family Camp provides a sanctuary for families to explore the full reality of transracial adoption. By bringing together the voices of transracially adopted persons along with professional guidance, and vital peer connections, we create a space for children and parents to learn, heal, and grow side by side.

Lifelong Impact: Campers grow into counselors, families return year after year, and the support extends far beyond camp—sustaining our families all year long.

Post-Adoption Resources

As there are few resources in the adoption field that specifically provide post-adoption support for transracial families, TRJ has developed additional online and physical resources for families to successfully navigate issues all year long.

Support for the Journey 

Post-adoption care for transracial families shouldn't be an afterthought. TRJ fills a critical void for families providing specialized physical and online resources. 

  • TRJ Monthly Email Newsletter with articles related to the monthly themes connected to transracial adoption, celebrates Black excellence, and highlights books that integrate adoption into the story.
  • TRJ/June-in-April Activity Deck is designed for kids to ask parents and offers 12 monthly cards with prompts to spark regular, meaningful conversations about adoption, race, and identity. To order, email info@togetheronthejourney.org
  • TRJ Consulting Support to organize a mini-TRJ Camp in your area in collaboration with your local social service/post-adoption support agency. To learn more, email info@togetheronthejourney.org

Why We Exist

Adoption is often spoken about in terms of love and gratitude, but the reality is more layered. Transracially adopted children grow up navigating profound questions of identity, belonging, and cultural connection–often in families and communities that don't fully understand their lived experience. Without intentional support, these children can feel isolated in both their racial and adoptive identities, caught between worlds that don't always see or affirm them.
