November is National Adoption Month. It is an opportunity to shine a light on the adoption journey and the many loving families that have come together as a result.
CASA volunteers are crucial to ensuring a youth’s voice is heard. They can also help make sure the complicated emotions of birth-family loss and adopted-family joy are acknowledged.
The National theme for 2023 is Empowering Youth: Finding Points of Connection. Learn more at the Child Welfare Information Gateway.
In Arizona, various activities are held throughout the month. In Maricopa County, National Adoption Day will be celebrated on Saturday, November 18, 2023.
If you know of a family that is on the adoption journey make sure to support and celebrate the entire family unit; parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Every family member is crucial in the family framework and will help the newest family member see that a permanent, loving family is possible – and has happened for them!
