November 09, 2011 - Alameda County
Social Services Agency, Department of Children and Family Services has just received from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation the
All Children--All Families Seal of Recognition for their commitment to establishing policies and practices that welcome and support LGBT foster and adoptive families. The
HRC Backstory Blog (11.8.11) notes that "the seal is an honor for any agency, but for larger public agencies the path to achieving the seal is often challenging; administrators and line staff are managing a number of practice improvement models, dealing with daily crises, staff turnover, scarce financial resources, and changing political winds.
Alameda County is the second county in California, and only the second nationally, to engage with HRC’s All Children—All Families initiative and earn the seal."
