World Adoption Day
Every year on November 9th, World Adoption Day encourages adoptees to share their stories. It's also a day for adoptive parents to network with others and reflect on their adoption journeys.
Adoption is a wonderful way to become parents for couples experiencing the agony of infertility. However, each year, there are several other groups of people who adopt children. Possibly, they simply want to provide a home for a child in need. Or perhaps a woman has a medical condition that could make it unsafe to carry a baby. Some adopt because they are single, but still want to have children.
Children are given up for adoption for several reasons on the other hand of the spectrum. An unwed mother may find that she is too young to take responsibility for a child. A mother may find that they don't have enough funds to properly care for a child. When one or both parents die, many children are in need of a home. Sadly, many children are in need of a home.
While adoption is a wonderful process, it can also be sad to learn that the number of children in need of a home is in need of a home. According to the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), more than 150 million children around the world are in need of a home. The nearly half a million children that are in the US foster system are in the United States' foster system include this number.
