ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE ABORIGINAL LAND Children by Choice acknowledge the traditional owners of country throughout Queensland and their continued connection to land and community.

We acknowledge the sorrow of the Stolen Generations and apologise for the removal of children by white Australians.
