World Adoption Day
November 9 · Level 3 · #1701 of 2238
World Adoption Day highlights the idea that every child deserves a family, and it draws attention to children growing up without parents. It is a moment to talk about adoptive families and the support they need.
How it is celebrated: adoptive parents and guardians share their stories, charities and support groups hold meetups and fundraisers, and people spread word about how adoption works and how to help families who take it on.
In the United States, the whole of November is National Adoption Month, and courts often hold special celebration hearings where adoptions are made official.
