EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH ETHICAL NETWORKING

LEGISLATIVE ACTION WE'RE ACTIVELY
PURSUING:
Championing the ADOPT Act: Ethical Family Building brought this critical bill to Congress to protect expectant mothers and adoptive families from exploitation by unlicensed, for-profit intermediaries who operate without oversight.
Advocating for the Adoption Counts Bill: We are pushing for this legislation to mandate the federal collection of non-identifying private adoption data for the first time since 1975. This is essential for creating effective, evidence-based policy.
Driving State-Level Reform: Beyond federal action, we partner with working groups in various states to reform local laws, ensuring protections are strengthened from the ground up.

JOIN OUR MISSION
Whether you’re an adoptive parent, birth parent, adoptee, or simply someone who cares about ethical adoption, we invite you to join our cause.
