Hospital Adoption Education Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create and share nationwide resources, including digital resources, to help health care workers understand sensitivities around adoption and best practices for working with prospective birth mothers and adoptive families. The resources would be developed with a committee of adoption experts, and the Administration for Children and Families would keep an adoption resources web page for health care workers. The department would provide education, training, and policy consultation to hospitals and birthing centers, either directly or through grants or contracts of up to 3 years. Grant recipients would have to be health care-based nonprofit adoption education groups that are not child-placing agencies and do not provide or refer for abortions. The Secretary would report evaluation results to Congress within 3 years, and the work would be paid for with funds already available to the Administration for Children and Families.
