Saturday Is National Adoption Day
Thursday November 19, 2009
November 21, 2009, marks the 10th year for National Adoption Day. Through the help of adoption professionals, child advocates, judges, and attorneys, thousands of children in foster care will finalize their adoptions and become part of a permanent home and family. The goals for this National Adoption Day include:
- Finalize adoptions from foster care in all 50 states
- Celebrate and honor all families that adopt
- Raise awareness about the 129,000 children in foster care waiting for adoption
- Encourage others to adopt children from foster care
- Build collaboration among local adoption agencies, courts and advocacy organizations
I hope that this National Adoption Day is as successful as the year before. Don't forget to spread the good news with an awesome adoption announcement!

Saturday is also National Adoptee Rights Day
