November 1 will mark the beginning of a very special month for adoptive families, birth parents, waiting families, foster care providers, adoption professionals and anyone else whose life has been touched by adoption – it’s National Adoption Month!

The month-long celebration will also be recognized across the United States on Saturday, November 22 – National Adoption Day.

Want to celebrate National Adoption Month in your community? We’ll have ideas in our newsletter and on our blog throughout November. You can also attend a National Adoption Day event in your area. To find a list of events, click here.

We want to hear from you!

What do you have planned for National Adoption Month? Does your family have any special traditions in honor of National Adoption Month?

Share an Adoption Reflection. During the month of November, we’ll be celebrating National Adoption Month by sharing adoption reflections! Send us a favorite memory, detail, quote, song, etc. that reminds you of your adoption connection, and we’ll post our favorites during the month of November!
