National Adoption Day
National Adoption Day is when communities and courts join forces to find a child forever home.
By: Maia Price
This day is an effort to focus more attention on the children who are waiting to be placed in their new homes. The look on a child's face when they realize they have found their safe place, where they will be cared for, loved, and safe, is a priceless reaction. In 2000, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, Alliance for Children’s Rights, and Children’s Action Network founded National Adoption Day.

Why is it important?
We get to celebrate family
National Adoption Day is when thousands of children find their forever homes and parents after a long period in foster care.
We get to witness raw and simple love
Adoption is a choice to foster and permanently adopt someone else’s child as your own. You are choosing to grow your family and give kids without a family or home a place filled with unconditional love.
