Agency	National Adoption Center
Agency Description	The National Adoption Center expands adoption opportunities for children living in foster care throughout the United States, and provides adoption support to families and to agencies who seek the permanency of caring homes for children. To further its mission, it is developing a complete, online family preparation training program -- The Adoption Roadmap -- for prospective adoptive and foster parents interested in receiving an adoption education. Our intention is to help those who have been thinking of adoption, those who work in the adoption and foster care field, and other professionals who work with those whose lives have been touched by adoption, learn via this series of interactive courses. The Center believes that all children with special needs should be eligible for adoption assistance regardless of the income of their birthparents or previous adoptive parents, and that a family must be able to obtain adoption assistance even when a child's special needs have not been determined before the adoption is finalized, but develop later. Finally it recommends that adoption assistance agreements be reviewed and adjusted over time to realistically reflect and meet the needs of the child.
