The Biracial Family Network (BFN), also known as the Chicago Biracial Family Network is a nonprofit organization and social group based in Chicago that was formed in 1980.[1][2] BFN was founded by Irene Carr and five other mothers who were the parents of biracial and transracially adopted children.[3] BFN has traditionally focused on supporting those in interracial/intercultural relationships via education and social activities. However, over the years, its scope has grown to also include those who are of mixed heritage – biracial, multiracial, transracially adopted.[4]
BFN also participated in the 1988 founding of the Association of MultiEthnic Americans as one of the fourteen charter organizations.[5]
