Joan and Roy are proud grandparents to two children adopted from Russia. Whilst their family were waiting for a placement Joan and Roy attended the IAC Information Day for Family and Friends. Three years later they are now guest speakers at the same Information Day, sharing their experiences of what it feels like to be part of an intercountry family.

Other volunteers act as contributors to IAC literature, assisting staff with writing and developing the range of publications
IAC also occasionally has vacancies for experienced intercountry adoptive parents to act as co-trainers on the Information Day. These are paid sessional posts and advertised in the Jobs section.
Volunteers with no connection to adoption also contribute to the work of IAC through support to the adminstrative and accounts staff, undertaking such tasks as bookeeping and general administration work. We are interested in offers of help from any age group, retired to sixth formers, who can offer a minimum of half a day per week. IAC is a small friendly organisation and your contribution would make a difference.
