Based in Washington, DC, the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute is a small organization operating in the public policy sphere, focused on removing barriers that prevent children from joining safe, permanent families. Its work centers on advocacy and program activity related to adoption, seeking to advance policy and practice that support reunification and permanence for children in foster care. The institute also runs the Angels in Adoption program, a key initiative that engages lawmakers and other leaders around adoption issues. Recent activity includes collaboration with the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption to host the Congressional Roundtable on Adoption-Friendly Workplaces at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, aimed at expanding workplace benefits for adoptive and foster families. The organization works with public and private sector leaders to address practical policy approaches that support permanency for children in foster care. This reflects its role as a bridge between policymakers and practitioners within the adoption landscape.
