Welcome to FCC-Indiana

About FCC - Indiana

Families With Children From China-Indiana (FCC-IN) is a chapter of a national network of families who have the privilege of adopting their children from China. We are a voluntary, non-profit organization, independent of any  adoption agency, but solely dependent on you - the fortunate parents of our remarkable children - to maintain all of the activities and events detailed on this website. Please volunteer your time and energy. Without volunteer support, we will cease to exist.

Upcoming Events

Join FCC-IN for a fun afternoon of bowling on Saturday, March 24th. This is the first event in our new Just for Kids program. Register for bowling event by March 16th. If you want to be kept up-to-date on future Just for Kids events, please complete the Just for Kids form on our website.

Star Features FCC-IN Family

The Indianapolis Star recently featured a story on how adoptive families use food as a tool to create cultural connections. FCC-IN president, Mandy Spitznagle and her family were one of the featured families.

The article also highlighted FCC-IN's partnership with Pei-Ming Sun, of Sunny's Kitchen. It has been a  pleasure working with Sunny over the past year as she teaches families to prepare these delicious meals for themselves.

The great photos of the Spitznagle family were t
aken by Star photographer and FCC-IN parent, Kelly Wilkinson.

Dr. Tony Tan Presentation

FCC-IN recently hosted a webinar with Dr. Tony Tan, who provided insight into his studies on children adopted from China and his research findings on the development of adopted Chinese children from the perspectives of the adoptive parents and the adopted children’s teachers. The PowerPoint presentation is now available for download and review on our blog space.

Mei Magazine

Mei (May) means beautiful in Mandarin Chinese. This quarterly, glossy publication is a wholesome and age-appropriate magazine with a special emphasis on issues specific to Chinese adoptees ages 7 to 14. Now you know there is a magazine for girls/children adopted from China. The concept of having a magazine for adopted kids is critical. Mei Magazine is also geared for kids adopted from Asian countries.
