AFA Urges HHS Secretary Becerra to Support Adoption

American Family Association submitted a letter recently to the Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra calling for adoption counseling and referrals to be included in the final rule for Title X.
AFA President Tim Wildmon states in his letter, “Adoption counseling and the ability to provide referrals for patients who are interested in exploring this option can be done without compromising other family planning services. Rather, including adoption will expand realistic options for Title X clients and will be a net benefit to many children who can enjoy lifelong benefits from adoption – and for the sake of couples who are longing for children.”
Providers have seen a slow but steady local demand for COVID-19 vaccine for youths ages 12 to 15 since young people became eligible for the shots May 13.

Novant Health Inc. has provided first doses to about 1,300 individuals in that age range systemwide, according to Dr. Ashley Perrott, a family-practice physician with Novant. Perrott said two of her children are included.
Wake Forest Baptist Health provided first doses to about 700 youths in that age range during Saturday s vaccination event at Winston-Salem State University. We have had an uptick in appointments in that 12-to-15 age group that we re excited about, Swift said.
