Overview
Mission
The Adoptee Mentoring Society exists because adoptees deserve more than good intentions. They deserve infrastructure — trained mentors, research-informed programming, and a community built around shared experience.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Adoptee Lounge (Group Mentorship): # of clients served: 95 # of sessions held: 63 Objective: The Adoptee Lounge offers adoptees a supportive space to meet other adoptees and explore their own identities, guided by a facilitator.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
