The bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to create and share adoption resources for health care workers. It also provides for education and professional development for care providers at hospitals and birthing centers, plus guidance to those facilities on related policies and procedures. Eligible organizations could receive grants or contracts to provide these services. The Secretary must evaluate the activities and report results to Congress within three years of enactment.
Health care workers could receive education on caring for people considering adoption and potential adoptive families. The public would have access to an adoption resources webpage. The bill does not require patients or families to use these resources.
The bill directs that the activities use amounts otherwise made available to the Administration for Children and Families. It does not specify a funding amount.
