National Adoption Day - November 19th

National Adoption Day is this Saturday, November 19th. For those of you who aren't familiar with it,  National Adoption Day is a special Saturday where courts open their doors, and judges (family court and otherwise) volunteer to hear and finalize as many adoption cases as possible.

Maricopa County (Phoenix Metro) has had the largest National Adoption Day event for the last 3 years. Our teachers have told us that it is a carnival-like event. They have entertainment, games, face painting, photography, gift bags - and lots of kids who have their adoptions finalized. It's a great feel-good day, and there are tons of smiles!

I've heard that it's a great day, and I think we're going to go downtown to see it in action.
