Once again Greenlight Bookstore has partnered with us!

For over two decades, National Adoption Awareness Month has been promoted and celebrated every November in communities across the country. Many national, state, and local agencies—as well as foster, kinship care, and adoptive family groups—will help educate their communities through programs, events, and activities that help raise awareness about adoption and the thousands of teens currently in foster care who are waiting for their own permanent families.
