National Adoption Day is a collective national effort to raise awareness of children in foster care waiting to find permanent, loving families. For the last eight years, National Adoption Day has made the dreams of thousands of children come true by working with courts, judges, attorneys, adoption professionals, child welfare agencies and advocates to finalize adoptions and find permanent, loving homes for children in foster care. National Adoption Day is celebrated in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Join us on
Saturday, November 15, 2008 by hosting or participating in an event in your community. To find out more, visit
