 PAINTING THE COLORS BACK INTO YOUR LIFE ... |
The denial of an adult human being's right to the truth of his origin creates a scar which is imbedded in his soul forever. Alma, the Spanish word for "soul", has a very special meaning to all adoptees, for they have been hurt in the same way. ALMA, the pioneer organization in fighting for the rights of adoptees everywhere, is the oldest, most comprehensive and successful registry of its kind. We are in our 40th year! Read about our success stories. If you cannot find what you are looking for, contact us by email, (manderson@almasociety.org) or write a letter to:

The ALMA Society is a NON-PROFIT, tax-exempt corporation funded entirely by registration fees and donations which are tax-deductible.
ALMA does not do the search for our members. We will assist with your search through our chapters and search assistants. We do not act as an intermediary in contacting birth relatives, etc.
Why does ALMA charge a registration fee? Like any other organization, ALMA has expenses that must be covered. Our only source of funds are tax deductible registration fees and donations. We do not receive any state or federal funding or foundation grants. Your registration fee covers such items as: telelphone/fax/computer hardware and software/printing supplies, postage, office supplies, Internet and web hosting fees, and other expenses such as utilities, purchase of yearly access to databases, etc. None of our volunteers are paid, strictly volunteer, but we HAVE to cover our expenses for operating our ogranization. Thank you for your consideration when joining ALMA.
