The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Children's Bureau, is initiating a cooperative agreement to develop and evaluate a demonstration program aimed at providing post-adoption support services to birth parents who have voluntarily placed their children for private domestic adoption. Recognizing the importance of the well-being of all adoption parties, the program focuses on offering support groups, resources, and other supportive services to help birth parents adjust positively following the adoption process. The initiative's key objective is to identify effective support models that enhance birth parents' well-being and can be replicated nationwide. A critical aspect of this project is the rigorous evaluation planned to assess the effectiveness of the services delivered and to create a replicable service model. This effort aligns with ACF’s broader mission to promote social well-being for families and individuals. By funding this cooperative agreement, the agency seeks to foster healing, connection, and ongoing resources for birth parents, ensuring that their unique needs are addressed in a comprehensive manner.

Full Description

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Children's Bureau, will fund a cooperative agreement to develop, implement, and evaluate a demonstration program of post-adoption support services for birth parents who have voluntarily placed their children for private domestic adoption. This initiative is founded on the recognition that the well-being of all parties in an adoption is essential. Birth parents often benefit from access to support and resources following their placement for adoption.

This demonstration program will provide services including, but not limited to, support groups and supportive services and resources. The goal is to identify and promote effective models of support that contribute to the positive adjustment and well-being of birth parents. A central component of this project is a rigorous evaluation to measure the effectiveness of the services provided and to develop a model that can be replicated by other organizations nationally. This work directly supports ACF's mission to promote the social well-being of families and individuals.
