The month of November brings one of America’s most anticipated holidays—Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving kicks off the holiday season and opens our hearts as we reflect upon our blessings and good fortune.
To piggyback on this thread of thankfulness, the United States also celebrates the wonderful gift of adoption each November! The first major effort to promote adoption awareness was started by Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis in 1976 when he initiated Adoption Week. By 1990, the effort had expanded to encompass the entire month, with a special designated “National Adoption Day” on Nov. 18. Today, nearly 135,000 children are adopted in the United States each year.
