Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute
The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) is an American non-partisan, non-profit organization "dedicated to raising awareness about the tens of thousands of orphans and foster children in the United States and the millions of orphans around the world in need of permanent, safe, and loving homes through adoption; and to eliminating the barriers that hinder these children from realizing their basic right of a family."〔(CCAI Mission Statement, accessed October 19, 2009 )〕 CCAI seeks to educate and inform Members of Congress in adoption, foster care, and child welfare issues that affect their constituents. This is done through congressional briefings, leadership training programs, educational trips, and other notable programs.〔("About CCAI", accessed October 19, 2009 )〕 The Institute's work is entirely funded by donations and gifts from organizations and individuals like the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption〔("Empowering Parents Through Conversation", accessed October 19, 2009 )〕 and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.〔("Grant Detail", accessed October 19, 2009 )〕
