Whether a woman chooses to make an adoption plan or decides to parent, Barker provides vital services to safeguard the health of the mother and baby by coordinating proper medical and prenatal care, securing housing resources, food, and other ancillary services. Barker has a "Cradle Care" program where trained foster parents provide love and nurturing temporary care for the baby while the birth parents take the time necessary to decide to parent or place the baby for adoption. See Schedule O for continuation 839879 432178 International Program: The Barker International Adoption Hague Accredited program provides services for the adoption of children from other countries. Barker currently has adoption programs in China, Colombia, India and South Korea. With an emphasis on the Greater Washington DC area, Barker finds permanent loving families throughout the country for children in need, including older children and children with special needs. The agency also provides home studies and post placement/adoption services for families who are working with partner agencies to adopt children from countries where Barker does not have programs. 324466 185364 Project Wait No Longer ("PWNL"): Barker began PWNL to recruit, train, and support adoptive families for older children in the US foster care system. These children, who are typically between the ages 10-17 years old or are part of large sibling group, have often experienced neglect, abuse, and the trauma of living in multiple, transitional homes. These are the children who are the most difficult to place, but who have the greatest needs. Often the children have behavioral challenges, learning issues, and/or developmental delays, requiring a special commitment from the parents who adopt them. PWNL provides support groups, wrap around services, and life-long post-adoption counseling so that these families can continue to support the children. To date, PWNL has placed 125 children with permanent, loving and stable families. 147376 158677 Family and Post Adoption Services: Barker services do not end when a child is placed with a family because adoption is a lifelong journey. Barker is committed to providing support and education to all members of the adoption circle: adopted persons, birth parents, and adoptive parents. Barker's Family and Post-Adoption Services Program provides an array of services to strengthen families created through adoption including: counseling; facilitated support and discussion groups for all members of the adoption circle; educational programming for adults and children; intermediary services for birth parents and adoptive parents in open and semi-open adoption arrangements; provision of non-identifying social and medical history reports; search and reunion services for birth parents and adults adoptees; and community and school education programs to build greater awareness and understanding about adoption-related issues. In addition, an Adoption and Foster Care Conference held annually is open to adoptees, adoptive parents, birth parents, professionals, and anyone else touched by adoption. A Homeland tour to Colombia, geared toward teens and young adult adoptees traveling together with their parents, is also offered. Barker's post-adoption services are available to all touched by adoption regardless of whether their adoption experience was with Barker or another agency, including the former clients of the Catholic Charities Archdiocese of Washington and Family Matters, who have contracted with Barker to serve their constituents. Post-adoption support is one of the hallmarks of the agency and sets it apart from other organizations in our service area. 147376 158677 2197122 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 37 0 1 24 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MD X The Organization 3016649664 7979 Old Georgetown Road Bethesda MD 208142429 Gary Diamond Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Howard Menditch Past Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Adrian Washington 1st Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 David Kessler 2nd Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Ivany Secretary 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrea Brenner Assistant Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Eugenia Collis Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael MacFarland Assistant Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Nicole Adams Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Brown Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathryn Bucher Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Martha Dantzic Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Freeman Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mara Gandal-Powers Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Gimblett Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Heymann Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shelley Holt Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carolee Inskeep Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leslie L Jacobs Jr Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sara Magden Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Benjamin Murray Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Sturtevant Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniela Wiggins Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher G Young Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Hollar Executive Director 40.00 X 149544 0 11518 Beverly Clarke Program Director 40.00 X 122710 0 3056 Susan Baker Director, Finance & Administration 40.00 X 112372 0 11996 384626 0 26570 3 0 1 0 0 68122 570625 725076 3266 1363823 Placement/PostPlacement 624100 514132 514132 Homestudy fees 624100 374013 374013 Application/intake fees 624100 172753 172753 Post Adoption Fees 624100 137282 137282 Adoption Education 624100 64159 64159 1262339 13586 13586 3182 3500 3266 934 -84 2566 2482 2482 49653 68122 49653 0 Other income 900099 444 444 444 2642674 1262339 0 16512 161062 112742 24160 24160 1175918 1018419 91450 66049 23172 20160 1762 1250 42144 35673 3637 2834 103630 87719 8943 6968 19881 19881 37813 37813 235569 232865 2704 190269 161056 16419 12794 98181 75674 15640 6867 55877 47298 4822 3757 215133 182103 18564 14466 51430 51430 2100 1778 181 141 38271 32395 3303 2573 37243 31525 3214 2504 Child placement 106285 106285 UBI Taxes -5093 -5093 2588885 2197122 247400 144363 180728 267981 722551 765993 106963 34570 30959 21467 84831 100677 286350 152936 144759 133414 9579 17121 1280370 1341223 152694 175594 4425 14375 376200 350414 533319 540383 X 642294 794047 104757 6793 747051 800840 1280370 1341223 53789 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1305164 1555761 1368588 1467272 1363823 7060608 1305164 1555761 1368588 1467272 1363823 7060608 2882997 4177611 697 1618 6196 6063 13586 28160 7088768 6623412 0.58930 0.62440 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 11929527 109659 2844876 647523 14236539 12316413 262889 -98155 551620 11929527 10481673 301588 1980258 447106 12316413 7919646 1840711 1058425 337109 10481673 7714542 514561 -68233 241224 7919646 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0 1 1 137040 51717 85323 149310 101219 48091 133414 Due to Friends of Barker 12092 Obligations under capital lease 33796 Deferred compensation liabilities 17121 Deferred rent 181520 Deposits 105885 350414 X 5050391 30000 2380283 2410283 2640108 2566 2566 2642674 2689590 30000 73271 103271 2586319 2566 2566 2588885 Part V, Line 4: The Friends of Barker, a related Type I Section 509(a)(3) supporting organization maintains a Board-Designated Quasi-Endowment fund (also referred to as "Legacy Funds I & II") to provide for the long-term needs of the organization and to secure Barker's services for future generations.

The following procedures shall apply: 1) An interested party who has an actual or potential conflict of interest with respect to a proposed action or transaction of the corporation shall not participate in any way in, or be present during, the deliberations and decision making of the organization with respect to such action or transaction. The interested party may, upon request, be available to answer questions or provide material, factual information about the proposed action or transaction. 2) The disinterested members of the Board of Trustees may approve the proposed action or transaction upon finding that it is in the best interests of the corporation. The Board shall consider whether the terms of the proposed transaction are fair and reasonable to the organization and whether it would be possible, with reasonable effort, to find a more advantageous arrangement with an entity that is not an interested party. 3) Approval by the disinterested members of the Board of Trustees shall be by vote of a majority of Directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present. An interested party shall not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, or for purposes of determining what constitutes a majority vote of Directors in attendance. 4) The minutes of the meeting shall reflect that the conflict disclosure was made, the vote taken and, where applicable, the abstention from voting and participation by the interested party.
