In 2025, Adoption Choice Inc. officially earned the "You Are Welcome Here" Seal of Recognition from the All Children – All Families (ACAF) program of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. Having participated in this program since 2023, we are proud to have achieved this tier of recognition.

Here’s how we got there:
🌈 Implemented non-discrimination policies for clients & staff

🌈 Updated forms & visuals to be inclusive
🌈 Committed to long-term, meaningful inclusion efforts

What this seal means:
✅ ACI is LGBTQ+ welcoming and affirming
✅ Featured in ACAF public listings
✅ Recognized nationally for our advocacy and inclusion

This honor reflects our deep commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion in child welfare services, but it doesn't stop there. To maintain our status, all ACI staff must continue our LGBTQ+ education - growing, learning, striving to be the best for all the families we serve.

Adoption Choice, Inc. is still the ONLY Wisconsin adoption agency who has achieved this tier of recognition. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
