Every November is National Adoption Month. Every year has its own theme, decided upon by the Child Welfare
Information Gateway, and it's funded by the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services. This year's theme is "National Adoption Month--Virtually: Adoption in the Digital Age."
While efforts each November always focus around educating, informing,
and recruiting the public for foster care and for permanent adoptive
homes, this is the first year that the focus has been on a new, modern
method of connecting with communities across the country.
This short video explains how the 2012 National Adoption Month
initiative helps connect agencies with resources they need to recruit
and retain families, provide families with information to help them
start the adoption process, and link youth to resources on staying
connected with the important people in their lives.
