My Nonprofit Reviews

VFA has been involved in practically every major child welfare reform involving foster care and adoption for the past two decades. Hundreds of thousands of children's lives are impacted every day by the decisions passed down in Washington, DC. VFA reminds the leaders of our nation about the promise they made to our children when taking them into their custody. VFA educates, advocates, and collaborates to promote legislation and practice in the best interest of the nation's waiting children.

Voice for Adoption is vital. Children in care and the families who care for and adopt them have so much on their plates. Their lives are impacted by the decisions made in Washington, DC. They often don't have the opportunity to provide feedback on these decisions. They often are reactive rather than proactive. That is where VFA is the key. These families need to have their stories told, the journeys shared, and their adoption experiences elevated to the national platform. VFA stands with the children waiting to be adopted, with their families, and is the voice for adoption on capital hill. For over 25 years, they have been that voice, here is hoping that they are around another 25 years.

Family Equality is an amazing organization with some of the most respected LGTBQ leaders on staff. They fight every day in Washington, D.C., and around the U.S. to keep discrimination at bay, and to encourage LGTBQ individuals to dream and not be afraid to become and stay a family. Love is love, every child deserves a family, and sexual orientation and gender identity should not be factors in deciding if a person is a good parent. I am so proud of Family Equality, especially their federal and state policy teams.
