An Introduction to Working With National Council For Adoption
Who We Are
Who We Are
National Council For Adoption empowers and encourages all who are connected to adoption, so that all children can thrive in permanent, loving families. Surveys show that nearly 40 percent of American adults have considered adopting at some point in their lives. Most never take the next step.
Meanwhile, research from the Baylor University School of Business demonstrates that support from one’s employer in family-building have a strong positive connection to an employee’s job satisfaction, long-term loyalty, and overall well-being. NCFA’s goal is to bridge these two trends by offering employer-based educational resources with low barriers to entry, to help more hopeful parents understand their adoption options and pursue their family-building dreams.
