The purpose of National Adoption Month is to have a month that is dedicated to raising awareness of the children and youth in foster care as well as, the need for adoptive families for them. Also, during this month it is important to encourage people to learn more about adoption, recognize people who have been impacted by adoption and organize positive adoption related events.
While all adoption related issues are significant, the particular focus the month of November is Foster Care Adoption. The State of Georgia has approximately 13,718 children in foster care as of May 2019. Below is a graph that denotes the demographics of the children in foster care.

Here are a few simple ways to bring awareness to or celebrate National Adoption Month this November:
Retell your child’s adoption story to them.
Spread awareness positively through social media.
Donate time and money to a local organization that supports adoption.
Write a 'Thank You" letter to show gratitude to people who help make adoption possible. Examples can include case workers, judges, attorneys or other professionals who are impacting families via adoptions.

One of the greatest gifts that you can give a child is a FAMILY. For more information about adoption, please visit The Campbell Law Practice, LLC at www.campbelllawpractice.com for an initial consultation.
