November is recognized as National Adoption Awareness Month. National Adoption Week became National Adoption Month in 1990 and today is celebrated during the month of November throughout the United States.
While all adoption-related issues are important, the particular focus of this month is the adoption of children currently in foster care. The purpose of this celebration is to provide national awareness of the need for adoptive families, to celebrate children and families, and to call our nation to action to ensure safety, permanency and well being for all of our children.
During this month, states, communities, public and private organizations, businesses, families, and individuals celebrate adoption as a positive way to build families.
National Adoption Day is traditionally held on a Saturday which is observed in courthouses across the nation, as hundreds of adoptions are finalized simultaneously.
Placer Kids, a partnership between Sierra Forever Families, Placer County and many local sponsors have planned a morning of memories for the newly adopted children and their families and they earnestly invite our community to participate in this happy and fun event. See our celebration flyer.
The festivities include the opportunity to take a picture with Sacramento River Cat’s mascot Dinger. There will be music, coffee and breakfast provided by Starbucks, cookies, crafts and more.
Celebration of Adoption Day in Placer County will take place in front of the Historic Court House. Check out our celebration flyer.
