The Vermont Adoption Consortium is comprised of agencies and groups from around the state who have joined together for a common purpose: to support Vermont's adoptive families.

• Adoption is a desirable plan for children who need families.

• Adoption is a lifelong process that unfolds throughout the lives of everyone involved—child, adoptive family members and birth family members.

• All adoptive families in Vermont should be able to access services when and where they need them.

• Building cultural connections is essential for multicultural and transracial adoptive families.
