The Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 specifically mentions electronic recruitment. Funding, support, and use of technology especially the Internet are on the rise. The investment is worth it. Not a single agency featured inside regretted its decision to invest in technology. In fact, each one plans continued expansion.
Technology generates enthusiasm.
Prospective parents express interest in children, recruiters try creative approaches, and whole communities become better informed about adoption when technology is put to use. Using technology for recruitment, particularly Internet photolistings, has not escaped controversy. Kansas Families for Kids deals with the question head on. We ask that as you view our children, consider that they live in our communities. Respect their right to privacy, and be aware that they may attend school or church, or play at the local park with your children and relatives.
