Adopted Between Worlds – AI Resource Assistant

1. Purpose of the Website and AI Tool
This website provides informational, educational, and reflective content related to adoption, along with the Adopted Between Worlds Resource Hub and an AI-assisted chatbot called the AI Resource Assistant.

The AI Resource Assistant functions exclusively as a resource discovery tool. It helps users discover and navigate publicly available adoption-related resources available through the Adopted Between Worlds Resource Hub, including materials such as books, organizations, articles, and support services.

Neither the website nor the AI Resource Assistant provides personalized guidance or interprets individual situations.

2. Informational Purpose Only

It is not intended as:

• Medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice

• Legal or financial advice

• Crisis support or intervention

Adoption is complex and deeply personal. The stories, materials, and resources shared are intended to encourage thoughtful engagement, not to provide individualized recommendations or professional guidance.

3. Scope and Limitations of the AI Resource Assistant
The AI Resource Assistant has strict functional boundaries.

It does not provide:

5. Non-Authoritative Nature
The AI Resource Assistant and website content are not authoritative.

They do not assess, diagnose, recommend, or determine what is best for any individual situation.

Any language generated should not be interpreted as advice, instruction, or endorsement.

The intention of this website is to hold space for complexity, not to promote a particular narrative or position.
