Since 2002, NCFA has been providing adoption awareness training to options counselors as the original recipient of a national grant to conduct the Infant Adoption Awareness Training Program (IAATP) in all 50 states.
Growing out of legislation by the U.S. Congress in 2000, the primary purpose of the program was to train pregnancy and health counselors in federally funded clinics to present adoption as an option to women with unplanned pregnancies. In more than 1,700 training days since 2002, NCFA’s IAATP has trained more than 17,000 individuals from all 50 states, 94 percent of whom rated the trainings “Excellent.” Beginning in 2007, NCFA is pleased to be designated as the Infant Adoption Training Initiative Grantee for Health Region 3, which includes Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. NCFA will be working in conjunction with the other grantees to train health care workers and those involved in providing counseling and support services to those impacted by an unintended pregnancy. |

What trainees are saying ...
Thank you so much for a wonderful opportunity to learn about "adoption as an option." It is definitely worth giving three days to this training.
