National Adoption Month

Originating from Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis's 1976 Adoption Week initiative, November 01 expanded into a full month under President Clinton in 1995. This observance spotlights approximately 117,000 Children nationwide awaiting permanent placement within the foster care system. Building lasting Family connections proves urgent, since roughly 20,000 youth age out annually without securing adoptive homes, facing elevated risks toward homelessness and instability. Prospective Parents considering adoption receive encouragement through informational campaigns, recognition dinners, and storytelling events. Despite nearly 40 percent of American adults having contemplated adoption, systemic gaps persist. Throughout the United States, advocacy organizations amplify youth voices, emphasizing identity, connection, and belonging as fundamental components toward achieving genuine permanency.
