Our Story
Our story begins with the discovery of new family and a driving desire to help other families.
WarBabies is a dedicated organization that plays a vital role in connecting American Veterans and Amerasians with their biological families. This unique nonprofit focuses on utilizing DNA testing to facilitate these connections, emphasizing the importance of individual dignity and the quality of the service they provide.
At its core, WarBabies is committed to aiding those who have been affected by the complexities of war, particularly in establishing biological ties that were disrupted or lost. They offer research assistance for DNA-based family searches, primarily catering to American Veterans and Amerasians who are seeking to uncover their biological roots.
An integral part of WarBabies' mission is its advocacy for the rights of Amerasians, especially regarding their entitlement to U.S. citizenship. This aspect of their work underscores the organization's dedication to not only reuniting families but also ensuring that Amerasians receive the recognition and rights they deserve.
WarBabies upholds a strong commitment to diversity, both in its clientele and team composition, reflecting a broad spectrum of backgrounds and experiences. This inclusivity is a cornerstone of their approach, ensuring that they serve a wide range of individuals affected by war.
The organization operates on a not-for-profit basis, relying heavily on donations to cover expenses such as DNA kits and operational costs. These contributions are vital in enabling WarBabies to continue their invaluable work.
To get involved with WarBabies, there are several options. You can volunteer, make a donation, or help spread awareness about the organization's mission and impact. Volunteering can range from administrative support to hands-on involvement in their projects.
At War Babies, we promote the dignity and self-worth of all of our clients, and strive to provide excellent quality of service, individually and as a group. War Babies provides research assistance to American Veterans and Amerasians who are in search of discovering their biologic bond. We successfully do this by working with an individual's DNA sample and search through a variety of public records.
Although we do not charge a fee for our services, there are some expenses involved, such as purchasing DNA kits, postage for communications and other operating essentials. We handle each case individually based on their situation and need. Donations are heavily relied on to offset the cost of successfully reconnecting families.
Our organization does not discriminate against any client, staff or volunteer due to race, religion, economic background, sexual orientation, size, gender or request for anonymity.
We also value the time, skills, and expert opinions of our staff. We are committed to providing reasonable, structured work schedules, and clear duties, and spheres of rights and responsibilities for each team member.
We do not expect staff to do work for which they are not trained; we do expect them to share their suggestions for improving any aspect of War Babies working operations or case management. We aim to provide our team members an opportunity to make a difference in the world around them, through caring and expert assistance to our clients.
Testing is the key factor to finding any relatives out there. You can get started by purchasing your DNA Kit from one of these Top 3 recommended DNA Testing companies.
Each DNA kit from Ancestry, 23andMe, FTDNA and MyHeritage is approximately $120 with shipping included. If you would like to contribute so that we can purchase kits for Veterans or their Amerasian children, please do so securely by visiting our Donate to the Cause page.
Not everyone wants to get involved, but for those who have the time and talent, we are looking for a few good people to help us in our mission. Here is how you can help:
