5th Annual National Adoption Day

Don Petrille, Bucks County Register of Wills and Clerk of the Orphans’ Court, is celebrating our office’s 5th Annual National Adoption Day on November 16, 2018 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm in the Commissioners’ Meeting Room of the Bucks County Administration Building. This year, our program will honor retiring State Representative Katharine Watson for her dedicated years of service helping children and families by advancing adoption in Pennsylvania. Currently Representative Watson is chairman of the House Children and Youth Committee and has advanced many bills into law, including protecting children from abuse and simplifying adoption procedures. Chambers 19 will be providing food, The Central Bucks West Choir will perform, and we will hear from the Bucks County’s judges and social workers who advance the cause of adoption. The event will be informative and heartwarming as we celebrate adoption, the families it has brought together, and the people who work hard to make it possible.
