This is a Senate resolution that officially designates November 22, 2025, as National Adoption Day and the entire month of November 2025 as National Adoption Month. The resolution is essentially a formal recognition to draw attention to adoption and the children in the foster care system who need permanent families. According to the resolution, there are currently about 70,000 children in U.S. foster care waiting to be adopted, and many of them spend nearly three years waiting for a family. The resolution highlights that over 85,000 children have found permanent families on National Adoption Day since the tradition started in 2000. The main purpose is to raise public awareness about adoption, celebrate families who have adopted, and encourage Americans to consider adoption as a way to provide safety, stability, and love to children who need it. The resolution also notes that many people have misconceptions about the adoption process and that one in three American adults have actually considered adopting. By designating this official month and day, Congress is encouraging the nation to think about adoption and the importance of finding permanent homes for children in foster care.
