## Summary

**Creates standardized adoption-sensitivity education and training for hospitals and birthing centers.** This bill would direct HHS to develop and nationally share accessible resources and offer professional development to improve how care providers interact with prospective birth mothers and adoptive families. - Families: Prospective birth mothers and adoptive families would see clearer, accessible information and more sensitive care at hospitals through digital and optional print resources posted on the Administration for Children and Families website. - Care providers and hospitals: Hospitals and birthing centers would receive consultation on standardized policies and professional development. HHS must evaluate implementation and report to Congress within 3 years on how many hospitals adopt programs and how many providers receive training. - Nonprofit education organizations: Grants or contracts up to 3 fiscal years would fund health care–based adoption education nonprofits that partner with hospitals and communities.
