How We Achieve Our Goals


The Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute improves the lives of people touched by adoption through many avenues:
  • Offering lawmakers reliable information and practical perspectives to improve adoption laws;
  • Providing the media with a trusted source of information;
  • Encouraging employer support for adoption;
  • Reducing barriers that impede adoption of children who need permanent families;
  • Researching policies and practices that affect adoption;
  • Educating policymakers and the public about the importance of giving adopted people access to information about their origins;
  • Developing a legal framework to ensure access to genetic information and a clear delineation of parental responsibility for children born through reproductive technology; and
  • Promoting ethical standards for adoption professionals.
