November is Adoption Awareness MonthThis Adoption Month, we are highlighting the urgent need for more permanent homes for many children in foster care. Across the nation more than 45,000 children are legally free for adoption and more than 1,000 of those children are waiting for adoptive families in Virginia. Our theme, “Love Grows through Adoption” emphasizes the strong and supportive relationships that can flourish in adoptive homes and produce positive outcomes for the entire family. Learn more.
