NCFA has been a champion of adoption since its founding in 1980. Whether as an advocate for federal and state laws that promote sound adoption policy; a resource for the media, government officials, policymakers, adoption professionals, and the public; a diplomat for sound international adoption policy; or a source of adoption facts and education, the National Council For Adoption (NCFA) is devoted to serving the best interests of children through adoption.
NCFA promotes its agenda and positions through research, education, and communication. As an Adoption Advocate, you will receive regular briefings and updates on adoption related news, legislation, international developments, and issues and activities from around the world.
