The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) is an American non-partisan, non-profit organization "dedicated to raising awareness about the millions of children around the world in need of permanent, safe, and loving families and to eliminating the barriers that hinder these children from realizing their basic right to a family."[1] CCAI was founded in 2001 by advocates of children in the U.S. and around the world in need of families.[1] CCAI seeks to support Congress' Adoption Caucus, the Congressional Coalition on Adoption, through educating and informing its members on adoption, foster care, and child welfare issues.[1] Additionally, CCAI serves as a resource for Members of Congress and their staff through the offering of information, resources, and opportunities to engage in adoption and foster care programs year-round.[1] This is done through congressional briefings, leadership training programs, educational trips, and other notable programs.[2] The Institute's work is entirely funded by donations and gifts from organizations and individuals.[3] Kate McLean currently serves as the Executive Director of CCAI.[4]
