I was reading up on it, and people around the country get together to raise awareness of adoptions, especially adoptions in the foster care system.
National Adoption Day 2008 – Goals
Finalize adoptions from foster care in all 50 states
Celebrate and honor families who 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
So congrats to all the folks out there who have completed their adoptions already! (Heather and Ryan!)
