Congressional Coalition
The Congressional Coalition on Adoption is an informal, bipartisan alliance of members of Congress who support adoption. The members are concerned for children who would benefit from adoption, families who wish to adopt and birth parents. The Coalition strives to remove barriers to adoption (including international adoption), to promote understanding of infant adoption and to support the adoption by loving families of children who are awaiting adoption in foster care.
