Adoption Courts Act” (H.R. 6700)

This new proposed legislation would require the Children’s Bureau to collect and maintain information regarding all private adoptions, and for other purposes. Lead Sponsor: Rep. Doug Lamborn.  “This legislation will ensure policymakers have accurate and useful information about adoptions in the United States,” said Ryan Hanlon, president and CEO of National Council For Adoption. “The federal government already reports on the number of intercountry adoptions and foster care adoptions; it’s time we add private domestic adoption as well.”   To view the Bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/6700/text?s=1
