In the month of November we raise awareness of the 100,000 children in America that await basic support, being that it is National Adoption Month. Through programs, activities, and events this month we focus on children currently in foster care. Every person can make a difference in raising awareness and together as a nation we can make a difference. President Obama recently issued a proclamation in which he shows us how he is play8ng his part in supporting National Adoption Month.
“My Administration remains steadfast in our support of adoptive families and children in need of homes. Earlier this year, I signed the Child and Family Services Improvement and Innovation Act, which reauthorizes child welfare programs and makes new provisions to help reduce the amount of time young children are without permanent families. I also signed the Healthy, Hunger¬-Free Kids Act to provide balanced, nutritious meals to all children in the foster care system. Last year, during National Adoption Month, I signed the International Adoption Simplification Act, which removed unnecessary regulations and barriers to international adoption. These efforts come in addition to the Adoption Tax Credit, which was extended and expanded as part of the Affordable Care Act to make adoption more accessible to American families. Through these key pieces of legislation, my Administration is moving forward with our commitment to stand with youth in foster care and find new ways to encourage adoption.”
