There are a lot of families with dreams to share.
Our mission is to provide support and education to the adoptive, kinship and guardianship communities while advocating for the needs of families providing permanence with a commitment to racial equity and LGBTQ+ inclusion.
"Capital Adoptive Families Alliance Executive Director, employees and Board of Directors stand with the Black, Indigenous, (and) People of Color communities in the fight for equality and justice. We acknowledge that systemic racism has resulted in foster and adoptive structures that disproportionately devalue BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ families.

About CAFA
Capital Adoptive Families Alliance (CAFA) is a non-profit organization that is professionally run by parents. We were formed in 2009 by two parents that were social workers who needed support raising their adopted children.
We provide respite, support groups, trainings, and community support with the intention of keeping adoptive families together in an environment where everyone thrives.
