All Children – All Families Pledge of Commitment
We believe there are too many children and youth in the foster care system to tolerate unjustified barriers that prevent them from growing up with the love and stability they deserve.
We believe that all potential qualified parents, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, should be equally valued as a resource for these children and youth.
As an organization, we are committed to the two primary goals of HRC’s All Children – All Families initiative:
- Adoption and foster care agencies affirmatively welcome and support GLBT-headed families and are culturally competent in working with these families and
- GLBT adults are aware of opportunities in domestic adoption and foster parenting and can easily identify agencies that welcome them
As an adoption or foster care agency or organization, we pledge to implement policies and practices that welcome, affirm and support GLBT foster and adoptive parents, as outlined in the All Children – All Families Promising Practices Guide. We will implement these promising practices as they apply within our scope of services.
