2007
Voice for Adoption's 2007 Adoptive Family Portrait Project highlighted the importance of post-adoption services through the stories and experiences of adoptive families from across the country. Thanks to the 56 members of Congress who participated in the project, celebrating ways that adoption has touched the lives of their constituents.
2006
In November 2006, Voice for Adoption, in collaboration
with the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute and Fostering
Families TODAY magazine, helped members of Congress celebrate
National Adoption Awareness Month and raise awareness of the importance
of special needs adoption by featuring a portrait of a family
from their home state that has adopted children from foster care.
The 30 members of Congress who participated had the opportunity
to learn about a constituent family’s adoption experiences,
as well as the way that federal child welfare laws and programs
have helped support the family.
Thanks to all of the members of Congress
who participated in our 2006 Adoptive Family Portrait Project.
