LGBT Community Members Encouraged to Adopt
The Center has launched the first program in the Delaware Valley to encourage members of the LGBT community to consider adoption and to connect them with welcoming adoption agencies. The new National Adoption Center-LGBT Task Force will inform and assist in implementing the initiative.
The program, funded by the Wachovia Foundation, has the following goals:
- Expand the pool of potential permanent families in the LGBT community
- Develop competent services for LGBT prospective families
The Center will implement a public awareness/education campaign directed to the LGBT community and will work with adoption agencies to improve their competence in serving those interested in adopting from the foster care system.
For more information, contact Sheina Martinez, program coordinator at 215-735-9988, Ext., 311 or smartinez@adopt.org
