The Coalition is in a unique place to intimately and deeply understand families needs and strengths.

The Coalition was incorporated in 1975 by adoptive parents to be an independent voice and support organization for adoptive families.

We have over four decades of experience working with and understanding the strengths and needs of post-adoptive and post-guardianship families. In addition, our leadership (including staff, board members and advisory committee members) is racially, culturally and geographically diverse. The Coalition is primarily comprised of adoptive and foster parents, adult adoptees, foster alumni, birth parents who relinquished children, and individuals raised in guardianship families. We have key stakeholders who are recognized leaders in culturally competent services and working with older, disconnected youth. The combination of professional credentials, life experience of being part of the adoption triad and passion for the mission of supporting adoptive families is powerful and differentiates the Coalition from others in the child welfare field.
