national adoption day 2008
Last year on National Adoption Day, an unprecedented number of courts and communities coast-to-coast came together to finalize thousands of adoptions of children from foster care and to celebrate all families who adopt. The day brought together hundreds of judges, attorneys, adoption professionals, and child advocates who are dedicated to creating forever families for waiting children. This year National Adoption Day will be on November 15, 2008.
