November is National Adoption Month

Did you know that November is National Adoption month? In many jurisdictions there are state-sponsored celebrations centered around adoption including a Saturday when the juvenile court is open specifically to finalize a large number of public agency (DFCS) adoptions.

President Obama issued a Presidential Proclamation for National Adoption Month. The full text of the proclamation can be found here.

Happy National Adoption Month!
