  • Full Members are adoption agencies (public or private nonprofit) that are licensed by the State of California to provide Domestic, International and/or Independent adoption services within the State.
  • Associate Members are individuals or organizations whose affiliation with CAAA is deemed to be valuable.


Full Member Benefits


Full Agency members are entitled to one voting representative. Additional agency representatives are encouraged to attend and participate fully in committee activities as non-voting members. Full members are entitled to listings of each office in the roster including website and email links as well as CAAA meeting minutes, Voice For Adoption information, and any other pertinent local or national adoption information. Meetings of CAAA are open to all members, and those concerned with the practices and problems of adoption are welcome to reach out to officers to discuss topics and possible additions to meeting agendas.

Associate Member Benefits

Individual associate members are responsible for being current on the latest changes in state adoption regulations and state and federal legislation affecting adoption practice.
