DescSocial Services:Cradle staff provide emotional support and options counseling for expectant parents free of charge, as well as lifelong emotional and educational support services for birthparents, adoptive families, and adopted individuals. In FY2018, trained Cradle counselors responded to 476 Helpline inquiries from expectant parents, received 75 expectant-parent referrals from professionals, wrote 74 homestudies for prospective adoptive parents, and provided 1,199 counseling sessions.Desc

A plan for program expansion to include outreach to community organizations was also approved. In addition, 205 community members attended Our Children programming, The Cradle's initiative to explore the realities faced by diverse families, including roundtables and live webinars.Desc

DescNursery and Special Needs Infant Care:In FY2018, 56 infants received 1,119 nights of care from licensed Cradle Nursery staff and affiliated physicians, and 45 babies were placed with their forever families. Since 1923, nearly 16,000 children have been cared for in The Cradle Nursery-the only one of its kind in the nation-and placed with permanent, loving families. The Cradle accepts any baby referred to its care, whether healthy or medically fragile, and all placements are guided by a philosophy of open adoption. Care in The Cradle Nursery is provided free of charge, affording birth parents considering adoption greater peace of mind and eliminating worry about insurance coverage limits.Desc

$674,023$633,139Adoption Learning Partners (ALP):The Cradle's nationally pre-eminent online training platform, Adoption Learning Partners, received 29,048 enrolments for interactive, adoption-related courses from adoptive parents, prospective adoptive parents, and professionals. The Cradle also began the rollout of A Learning Place, a mobile-first micro-learning platform that provided training for 55 prospective foster parents and professionals. Leveraging national organizational partnerships to scale impact, The Cradle expects A Learning Place to reach up to three percent of domestic foster parents or 9,450 individuals in 2019.
$239,448Our Children:The definition of family has changed significantly over the years, and so has the way families look. This is especially true in adoptive families. At The Cradle, nearly half of the babies we place for adoption each year are of a race that is different from their adoptive parents, and around 20% of our families are LGBTQ families. Recognizing the changing needs of our families, in 2016 The Cradle launched the initiative, "Our Children: An Education and Empowerment Series." The goal of this initiative is to educate diverse families about the realities and injustices their children may experience in societal interactions, and to give parents the tools they need to successfully communicate and navigate these difficult dynamics in positive and productive ways. Our Children is an initiative made up of a variety of components, including live roundtable discussions and online webcasts, on issues of great urgency today such as "Raising Black Boys." During the past two years, The Cradle offered roundtables on "The Color of Education," "Raising Black Girls and "Raising Children Across Racial Lines," each of which also had a companion webcast, allowing for discussion to continue and understanding to deepen over time. To date, more than 2,000 individuals have participated in Our Children programs.

Part V, Line 4:The Cradle's endowment is held and administered by The Cradle Foundation. The Cradle Foundation's endowment funds are intended for the support of general operations, the Nursery, and a post-adoption counselor.
Part X, Line 2:The Cradle, the Foundation, and CAP have received determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service indicating they are tax-exempt organizations as provided in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are exempt from federal and state income taxes on income related to its exempt purpose. The Organizations follow the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Organizations may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organizations, and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities as of and for the year ended September 30, 2018. The Organizations file Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in the State of Illinois.
Part XI, Line 4b - Other Adjustments:Distributions from the Foundation 2,475,000.
