Toolkit to Help Child Welfare Agencies Serve LGBTQ Families [ChronicleOfSocialChange.org]

As a growing number of states pass laws permitting discrimination against LGBTQ people interested in foster care and adoption, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation has released a toolkit to help the child welfare field better serve LGBTQ families.

The toolkit is part of HRC’s All Children-All Families program and provides webinars, assessment tools and best practices for professionals and caregivers working with people in the LGBTQ and child welfare communities.

Numerous national advocates are supporting the HRC’s pro-equality efforts, including the National Center on Adoption and Permanency, the North American Council on Adoptable Children, Voice for Adoption, the Adoption Exchange Association, the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Child Welfare Strategy Group and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption (DTFA).
