Join Voice for Adoption

Voice for Adoption (VFA) develops and advocates for improved adoption policies. Recognized as a national leader in special needs adoption, VFA works closely with federal and state legislators, as well as other child welfare organizations, to make a difference in the lives of children who are waiting to be adopted and adoptive families. VFA can help your organization easily track and understand what’s happening in Congress and federal agencies as they work on adoption and foster care issues.
