Each year, the president of the United States issues a proclamation stating that November is National Adoption Month and 2009 is no different. On October 30, 2009, President Barack Obama issued the proclamation which honors those families that strengthened America through adoption and recommitted the United States to reducing the number of children currently awaiting adoption in the United States.
National Adoption Month is an ever evolving month-long celebration of adoption that focuses on the needs of children who are currently awaiting their forever families in the U.S. Foster Care System.
