Happy National Adoption Day!
Today is National Adoption Day, which is a great opportunity to shine the spotlight on adoption in your family. Falling on the Saturday before Thanksgiving every year, National Adoption Day was created as an occasion for courts to finalize adoptions of children in foster care, joining them with their forever families just in time for the holidays. In 2014 alone, 4,500 children had their adoptions finalized on National Adoption Day; since its inception in 2000, over 50,000 children have been helped through this holiday.
