November is a month filled with significant events and holidays, but there’s one observance that often goes unnoticed amidst the preparations for Thanksgiving and the excitement of Black Friday – National Adoption Month. This important month is dedicated to raising awareness about the thousands of children in foster care who are eagerly waiting for their forever families. It’s a time to celebrate the love, hope and joy that adoption brings into the lives of countless families across the nation. Below, we’ll delve into the significance of National Adoption Month and the impact it has on the lives of many.

Adoption is a transformative journey. Since 1995, National Adoption Month has been celebrated throughout the United States, promoting the importance of adopting children and youth in foster care. It is a reminder of the beautiful stories that emerge from a selfless act. Every child deserves a loving and stable home, and this month encourages prospective parents to explore adoption as a means to create a family. For example, a child, who has been in the foster care system for 3 years, was adopted by a family early this year. A CASA advocate, who was assigned to the case, was present and supportive for all 3 years – ensuring the best interest for the child.
