About Us: Therapy for Young Children International Adoptions
Our Journey and Mission
Therapy for Young Children International Adoptions (TYCIA) was founded in 2015 with a vision to bridge the gap in information and support for families navigating international adoptions, particularly focusing on therapy and the unique needs of young children. Our journey began as a passion project by a group of adoption specialists, therapists, and parents who recognized the lack of comprehensive resources available to those involved in this complex process.
Over the years, TYCIA has evolved from a small online forum to become a trusted news website dedicated to providing unbiased, accurate, and up-to-date information on therapy and adoptions for young children. We believe that every child deserves a loving, stable home, and we strive to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions.
