DescDomestic Program: Barker's licensed social workers provide free, compassionate, unbiased counseling and support services to women facing unplanned pregnancies, their partners and family members. 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 continuationDesc

DescInternational 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.Desc

DescProject 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.Desc

DescFamily 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.Desc

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6Members include adoptive parents, adoptive persons, birth parents, and friends and patrons. All members, regardless of their affiliations with the Foundation, shall have the same rights and priviledges of membership.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aTrustees are elected through vote of the membership at the annual meeting of members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bThe Bylaws may be amended at the annual meeting of the membership, or at a special meeting of members called for that purpose. Amendments to the Bylaws may be proposed by the Board of Trustees or any twenty members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bA draft copy of the Form 990 is reviewed by the Board of Trustees Treasurer, Executive Director, Director of Finance and Administration, and the Chair of the Board of Trustees.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cProcedures for addressing conflicts of interest - Specific transactions: Where an actual or potential conflict exists between the interests of the agency and an interested party with respect to a specific proposed action or transaction, the Barker Adoption Foundation shall refrain from the proposed action or transaction until such time as the proposed action or transaction has been approved by the disinterested members of the Board of Trustees of the organization. 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. Violations of conflict of interest policy: If the Board of Trustees has reason to believe that an interested party has failed to disclose an actual or potential conflict of interest, it shall inform the person of the basis for such a belief and take the appropriate action.
