November is Adoption Awareness Month

November 5, 2024

Adoption Awareness focusses on highlighting the importance of adoption as a path to creating families and giving children a safe, loving environment to grow. It emphasizes the need for permanent homes for children in foster care and works to break down the misconceptions and challenges surrounding adoption, including the importance of the child’s biological history to their sense of identity. Adoption awareness encourages communities to support adoptive families, educate others on the process, and promote resources for those considering adoption. Adoption can help heal the trauma of loss for children who may have experienced unstable homes as it can offer them a sense of security and stability and it allows adoptive parents to experience personal growth as they navigate the complexities and joys of parenting a child with their own unique history and background. At its heart, it’s about ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive in a stable, caring family.
