All Children, All Families Press Conference on LGBT Adoption (Part 2 of 3)

Human Rights Campaign Foundation's "All Children - All Families" initiative, designed to increase LGBT adoption, hosts a press conference on November 25 to introduce an awareness campaign targeting potential gay and lesbian foster and adoptive parents.

Speaker:

Nathan Monell, CEO, Foster Care Alumni of America; member, HRC All Children-All Families National Advisory Board.

November is National Adoption Month and the All Children All Families initiative, launched in 2007 by the HRC Family Project, works to ensure that all qualified prospective parents who wish to open their homes and hearts to children and youth have the opportunity to do so, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The program seeks to enhance LGBT competence among child welfare professionals and educate LGBT people about opportunities to become foster or adoptive parents to waiting children. Thirty-four agencies from across the U.S are currently participating, and more than a dozen agencies are close to earning the seal of recognition. More information about the initiative can be found at www.hrc.org/acaf.
