November is National Awareness Adoption Month. A time to be thankful for the joys adoption has brought to countless families and mindful of the many children in this country still waiting for families to call their own. If you or someone you know has been fortunate enough to build a family through adoption, now is the perfect time to celebrate.
Last year, Phoenix ranked number one in the nation for the most adoptions finalized on National Adoption Day. National Adoption Day is a collective national effort to raise awareness of the 129,000 children in foster care waiting to find permanent, loving families.
This one day has made the dreams of thousands of children come true by working with policymakers, practitioners and advocates to finalize adoptions and find permanent, loving homes for children in foster care. In total, more than 25,000 children have been adopted from foster care on National Adoption Day.
This year 225 children’s adoptions are expected to be finalized in Phoenix alone! Join the celebration on Saturday, November 21st from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Juvenile Court Center Durango Facility. This year’s event will include entertainment, activities for children and families, a picnic and much more!
