National Adoption Day is celebrated annually in the United States.
The day is celebrated by families who have adopted children, by the adoption institute that made it possible, and by the children whose dreams came true.
National Adoption Day was initiated in the year 2000.
The day was initiated by a coalition of partners such as the Children's Action Network, Alliance for Children's Rights, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, and Freddie Mac Foundation.
Read about these notable events in the history of National Adoption Day and how it was initiated.
Foster care adoptions have always been considered a great help to children. The foster care system in the country wholly supports law firms and families to finalize an adoption event, at least annually. The coalition of the Dave Thomas Foundation and the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute has helped many communities to adopt. Such National Adoption Day events have allowed thousands of children to connect with a family and celebrate life.
Awareness regarding the importance of adoptions has risen due to the widespread celebration of this day. A permanent home is a good place for a child. It is important that a child receives love and affection from their family, and also a good quality education. This can be tough to provide in a foster care facility.
Many have realized that facilities provided by the foster care system are lacking and that they are insufficient for the needs of children. A number of news channels showcase how this awareness has helped children in countless ways.
You can visit a foster care home and donate basic supplies such as bread. Raising funds for such a purpose isn't a very difficult task in the internet era. Even a simple blog about your local foster care home can gain a lot of attention. Such efforts will also significantly help in spreading awareness regarding child adoption. Helping families adopt a child is what you can do through social media.
National Adoption Day has helped families adopt over 70,000 children. The adoption events held on this day have also increased awareness regarding proper parenting and mentoring.
National Adoption Day helps to celebrate the active adoptions in the country, whereas National Stepfamily Day is celebrated mainly by stepfamilies by going out on a picnic or doing something fun.
The day was initiated in the year 2001 by a coalition of the Dave Thomas Foundation, Freddie Mac Foundation, and other entities.
Imagine what a child in foster care would feel like upon finding a permanent home and a family that loves them. Adoption gives immense joy to childless parents as well, who otherwise wouldn't have had a child of their own.
National Adoption Day has played a pivotal role in spreading child adoption awareness.
