About the Lubbock Interagency Adoption Council

Founded in 1986, LIAC (Lubbock Interagency Adoption Council) is a collaboration of the various child placing agencies in the Lubbock area. Together we promote awareness of adoption and recruit for much needed foster and adoptive families. The mission of LIAC is also to educate the community on adoption issues, to support our foster and adoptive families, and become better advocates for children and families. As part of that mission we host an annual adoption conference, bringing to Lubbock well known experts in the field of adoption.

Our organization is the only interagency group of its kind in the region. The council meets monthly to discuss possible recruitment efforts as well as retention activities for all child placing agencies in the organization. LIAC is also the community partner for the Heart Gallery of the South Plains. This traveling photography exhibit is designed to raise awareness of area children waiting for their “forever family.”
