A nationwide celebration of foster care adoption

National Adoption Day is a collective national effort to raise awareness of the more than 100,000 in foster care waiting to find permanent, loving families. This annual, one-day event has made the dreams of thousands of children come true by working with policymarkers, practitioners and advocates to finalize adoptions and create and celebrate adoptive families.
