Advancing Permanency. Shaping Policy. Changing Lives.

For 30 years, Voice for Adoption (VFA) has worked to ensure children and youth in foster care have the opportunity to grow up in safe, loving, and permanent families. This November, we will bring together advocates, families, national partners, child welfare leaders, and congressional champions in Washington, DC to celebrate three decades of bipartisan advocacy - and look ahead to the work still to come.
