CONCERNED UNITED BIRTHPARENTS -
LOS ANGELES BRANCH
Welcome to the Los Angeles Branch of Concerned United Birthparents (CUB, Inc.), a nationwide, non-profit organization founded in 1976 by men and women who surrendered children for adoption. CUB has grown to include adoptees, adoptive parents, siblings and anyone whose lives have been touched by adoption.
As adoptees and birthparents, most of us have felt isolated. Many of us have never shared our feelings with anyone. At CUB we learn that we are not alone or unique, that there are others who understand and share our feelings. By contacting CUB, you will take the first step toward coming to terms with the past. We welcome you and hope to see you at the meeting soon.
