National Adoption Day is celebrated every November 19. Did you know that in 2015 alone, 4,000 adoptions were finalized on the Saturday before Thanksgiving? Events are held all over the country to celebrate this holiday — during which communities and courts join efforts to find the right families for children in the foster care system.
Let’s celebrate National Adoption Day as thousands of foster children are welcomed into their forever homes!
