PRACTICE COMMITTEE FORUM

On March 13, 2024, the CT Council on Adoption’s Practice Committee hosted our March Forum, “The Impact of Unregulated Providers on Domestic Private Adoption in Connecticut” with Celeste Liversidge and Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard of Ethical Family Building. 

Celeste and Kelsey did a wonderful job of sharing statistics and resources applicable to CT families and professionals, providing education about concerns regarding unregulated providers in today’s domestic adoption climate. To learn more about Celeste, Kelsey, and their team at Ethical Family Building, check out their website: Ethical Family Building Home. To check and see if you are working with an unregulated provider, check out this search tool on Adopt Change’s website: AdoptChange - Search Adoption Community. Links to these and other resources can be found at CCA’s Resources tab on our website.

As a reminder, the CCA Practice Committee hosts two Forums per year which are free to CCA members! We hope to see you next time.
