The National Association of Adoptees & Parents (NAAP) interviews the Vance Twins.

The Vance Twins started Adoption Truth and Transparency Worldwide Information Network (ATTWIN) in November 2011. This social media group on FB has grown into a place for adopted people and families separated by adoption to connect and discuss pertinent adoption issues. They also serve as co-directors in the US on fundraising & awareness for Against Child Trafficking USA. They planned and directed the Adoption Trafficking Awareness Symposium in Washington State on June 18th, 2022.

Rev. Dr. Janine Myung Ja authored numerous books on adoption, including The Search for Mother Missing (Vance) and Adoption: What You Should Know, curated Adoptionland: From Orphans to Activists. She can be reached at info@adoptionhistory.org

Jenette Yamamoto is a Reiki Master, certified life coach and has worked in the Occupational Therapy Profession for more than 25 years, mainly in Skilled Nursing Homes in Washington state, including Lifecare. She is an activist for human rights and an advocate for record access for all adopted people. You can book a Reiki session with Jenette at reiki.vancetwins.com.
