Hospital-Based Adoption-Sensitive Care Training
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity is to improve access to training and technical assistance (T/TA) on adoption-sensitive care. The T/TA is targeted for hospital-based service providers, doctors, nurses, and staff who provide pregnancy or adoption information and referrals. The recipient will provide T/TA to hospital staff using the existing Understanding Infant Adoption curriculum, or an equivalent, in accordance with Infant Adoption Awareness Training Program best-practice guidelines. Such activities will help ensure that expectant parents who wish to place a child for adoption have access to appropriately trained staff and comprehensive supports throughout the adoption process. The recipient will collaborate with the Childrens Bureaus clearinghouse, Child Welfare Information Gateway, to maintain a public website with the training materials and other adoption resources.
